For Keysight Technologies' Genesys software
From gain blocks to power amplifiers covering a frequency band from DC to 86 GHz

Analog Devices (www.analog.com) announced the release of an extensive RF amplifier library of Sys-Parameter models for Keysight Technologies' Genesys RF simulation and synthesis software.

Genesis is an easy-to-use RF and microwave simulation software tool that provides cross-budget analysis of modulated RF specifications, including error vector magnitude (EVM) and adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR) performance for the entire RF signal chain.

This facilitates the easy selection and comparison of components suitable for RF applications. Analog Devices was one of the first companies to introduce Sys-Parameter models, which provide the convenience of electronic datasheets that can be directly simulated without the need for manual creation of data files and formulas using those files.



Keysight's Sys-Parameters provides RF system component behavioral parameters such as amplifier P1dB, IP3, gain, noise figure, and VSWR, enabling simulation of nonlinear and linear characteristics in a convenient spreadsheet format. The ADI Sys-Parameter library of nearly 100 RF amplifiers ranges from gain blocks to power amplifiers, covering a frequency range from DC to 86 GHz.

These components support applications such as wireless communications, test and measurement, and radar. This allows RF system designers to quickly select standard components and accurately design RF signal chains in a single step. ADI's Sys-Parameter model library is pre-installed in Keysight Genesys, released in August 2015. Updated versions of the library can be downloaded from the Keysight (http://www.keysite.com) and Analog Devices (http://www.analog.com) websites.
