S-Parameter Vs. Equivalent Circuit-Based Models For Surface-Mount RLC Components
By Modelithics, Inc.
The S-parameters provided commonly in the industry for passive RLC components are typically obtained using a split-block fixture and loose devices. However, practical circuits do not use components in this environment; instead, they are soldered onto custom pads on a specific substrate.

AWR's Visual System Simulator Co-Simulates With NI's LabVIEW For Enhanced Signal Processing Capabilities |
|
Achieving the highest possible performance from circuits used in third-and fourth-generation wireless systems is driving a tighter integration of previously disparate tools. As this article illustrates, AWR's Visual System Simulator (VSS) and National Instruments' LabVIEW graphical programming environment are now co-simulating so as to better enable designers to analyze, optimize, and verify complex RF circuits, subsystems, and digital signal processing within a unified framework. |
