RF microwave CAE CAD
RF/microwave CAE CAD uses computers to help design, model, and simulate RF and microwave devices. It uses visual and symbol-based notation specific to RF engineering. The software covers circuit simulation, analysis, schematic capture, and an integrated design environment that can automate high-frequency circuit design from RF through microwave to millimeter waves. It also models physical transmission lines like stripline and microstrip.
Applications range from simple analog subcircuits to complex wireless systems. Many components can be simulated, including amplifiers, antennas, attenuators, cables, capacitors, circulators, combiners, couplers, connectors, DC blocks, delay lines, detectors, diodes, dividers, ferrites, filters, inductors, isolators, limiters, mixers, oscillators, phase shifters, resistors, switches, transistors, terminators, waveguides, and more. The modeling complexity depends on the software and the available standard or custom models.
One example tool is Agile, which provides harmonic-balance and linear microwave analysis for microwave circuits; a parallel version exists but is not available.
