Optenni Ltd has released a new version of its matching circuit optimization software Optenni Lab™, which links to Copper Mountain Technologies (CMT) USB Controlled VNAs. The link enables users to stream the measured data directly into Optenni Lab, where the user can specify the matching targets and synthesize matching circuits essentially in real time. Using this connection, users can easily test antennas and virtual matching circuit prototypes in different impedance environments.
The measurements from the Copper Mountain Technologies USB VNA are directly available for matching circuit optimization in the Optenni Lab software. The interface between CMT VNAs and Optenni Lab creates a seamless link between measurements and simulations. Antenna designers will be able to monitor the antenna performance under various measured operating conditions and environments as seen through synthesized matching circuits.
Optenni Ltd. recently demonstrated this software solution at European Microwave Week in Paris with Copper Mountain Technologies one-port R54 (up to 5.4 GHz) and two-port compact S5048 (up to 4.8 GHz).
