Genesys Configuration Overview

The core capabilities of Genesys can be extended with additional simulation and synthesis building blocks into powerful and affordable bundles.

Genesys offers the highest design productivity by providing:

• Industry’s widest coverage of RF and microwave automatic circuit synthesis

• Comprehensive RF system architecture and frequency planning tools

• Modulated RF analysis of circuits and systems for EVM, BER and ACPR with WLAN and LTE-3GPP verification

• Time- and frequency-domain circuit simulation with optimization

• Fast, memory-efficient 3D-planar electromagnetic (EM) simulation

• Accurate and convenient X-parameter nonlinear circuit and system simulation

• Accurate frequency, temperature, and bias dependent Sys-parameters models of vendor system blocks

Genesys Core Environment

All Genesys configurations start with the prerequisite Genesys core environment, which is itself a fullfeatured design bundle. Extended capabilities are added to other affordable bundles to include:

• Filter, match and 10 other automatic RF circuit synthesis

• RF system architecture and frequency planning

• Modulated RF system analysis (dataflow- and frequency-domains)

• Nonlinear circuit simulation (DC, time- and frequency-domains)

• 3D-planar EM simulation

Genesys Circuit Synthesis

Genesys provides the industry’s widest coverage of passive and active circuit synthesis capabilities. The synthesis modules create high-performance circuits, accelerate routine design tasks from hours to minutes, and enable fast make-or-buy decisions on RF com- ponents. All 12 synthesis modules are included in the Genesys Synthesis building block.

Genesys RF Simulation

Genesys offers comprehensive circuit, system and electromagnetic simulation capabilities that are provided in the following 4 building blocks. They are used to construct powerful and economical Genesys RF and microwave board design bundles.

Genesys RF System Simulation

The Genesys system building block includes Spectrasys, a powerful RF system architecture and diagnostic simulator, and WhatIF, an innovative frequency planning synthesis that instantly identifies spurious-free bands when designing frequency conversion systems.
