SANTA CLARA, CAAgilent Technologies has introduces four new Genesys EDA software configurations priced under $10,000. The packages support linear, nonlinear, and electromagnetic RF system simulation and RF synthesis.

The new suites begin at $3,995, and configurations include:

• Genesys Core, which provides the schematic environment as well as layout, linear simulation, optimization, Monte Carlo analysis and data post-processing;
• Genesys Designer Pro, which adds eight passive and active circuit-synthesis modules for RF circuit design;
• Genesys Nonlinear Pro, which adds harmonic balance and planar EM simulation to Genesys Core to enable true nonlinear transceiver design; and
• Genesys Comms Pro, which adds the Spectrasys and WhatIF RF architecture tools to Genesys Core to allow high-performance RF system design.

A fifth new suite, Genesys Integrated, combines all the Genesys environment and simulation modules into one software platform.

All the new configurations include 12 months of software maintenance, including technical support and such software upgrades as the next Genesys release, planned for March 2007.

"Customers have told us they want smaller, more application-focused bundles that are easy to use but powerful enough for RF engineers to accomplish their design goals," said Daren McClearnon, product marketing manager with Agilent's EEsof EDA division. "These new Genesys configurations are affordable because they are tailored to fit specific RF design applications, such as microwave amplifier design or RF system design.”
