AMCAD Engineering, an innovative company, specializing in the development of software and hardware solutions for testing, modeling and simulating radio frequency electronic circuits, has developed new IQSTAR 1.6 and VISION 2.4 software solutions to overcome RF measurement/design challenges of electronic circuits and RF systems. They can be used together at a time to model complex behaviors of electronic systems over a broad frequency range. The latest releases are upgraded with new functionalities, making them useful to simulate both current and emerging applications in the RF and microwave industry.
Key Features of IQSTAR 1.6 and VISION 2.4 Software Products
IQSTAR 1.6: Revolutionizing RF Measurement Automation
IQSTAR 1.6 addresses the challenges that companies encounter when dealing with RF measurement software. From ensuring long-term software maintenance to managing scalability concerns, the solution provides a unified platform that expedites design cycles, standardizes testing procedures, and ensures reliable data delivery.
With IQSTAR 1.6, simplify RF measurement automation, and lead in the competitive race. Excitingly, this major update unveils new modules and features, addressing additional industry applications and measurement requirements. Enhanced capabilities in existing modules elevate user experience with:
- New waveform generation and demodulation module for NR 5G signal (WFG100-12 Option)
- New waveform generation and demodulation module for LTE signal (WFG100-11 Option)
- New measurement module IQS100B-21: Bench control (3-tone signal) for behavioral model extraction
VISION 2.4: Conquering RF and Microwave Design Challenges
VISION 2.4 exploits the reference data produced by IQSTAR or circuit simulators, to extract equivalent behavioral models of RF circuits. These unique circuit models make it possible to simulate a complete chain made up of several circuits and to predict with certainty what the system's overall specifications are before it is assembled, even in the presence of complex phenomena such as interactions between antennas or non-linear front-end circuits, and even in the presence of very broadband signals such as those used for 5G communications. In addition functionalities improvements, the latest VISION Release enables:
- Simulation in Linux operating system
- Improved hierarchical definition of complex system with building blocks encapsulation
- New modeling tools for power amplifiers, to embed in the same model, low & high frequency memory effects triggered by the envelop modulation of the signal, plus LOAD PULL effects
- VISION can export models compatible with (FMI) standards to streamline the generation, storage, sharing, and (re)utilization of dynamic system models across various simulation systems.
Additional Benefits for the Customers
Simplified Licensing: AMCAD's Software Introduce New Versions with Easy Online Activation
To be more responsive and simplify the license management of your software solution, for IQSTAR and VISION solutions, the cloud license management system will offer the possibility to operate with online licenses. Thanks to this new feature, a virtual product key can activate the software. The delivery will now be instantaneous, with no exchange of hardware ID or dongles.
Online licenses also offer other advantages, such as :
- Adding software modules on the fly, even temporarily, for sporadic use
- Sending messages when new versions are released for licenses under active maintenance program
- Update software version by simply restarting the software session
- Receive an end-of-support notification to start the renewal process
