NMDG welcomes you to IMS 2006 at Maury booth #1417 and also some different activities that the company is participating in. These are great occasions to meet again, discuss your nonlinear characterization and behavioral modeling needs, and introduce some new NMDG products.


New products:

● VNA+ - VNA Extension for harmonic characterization of active components VNA+ is a combination of software and hardware that extends the Agilent PNA-L N5230 Opt 245 into an advanced harmonic component analyzer, focusing on nonlinear behavior.

● MBBM - Measurement-based behavioral model using passive tuners MBBM is a software that allows to create a measurement-based behavioral model, describing input and output behavior of a component at the fundamental frequency in a non-50 Ohm environment. MBBM runs on MT4463 and VNA+ in combination with a tuner from Maury Microwave.

NMDG activities at IMS 2006

● Briefing on commercial solutions for advanced nonlinear component and system characterization, Wednesday, June 14, 2006, 13:30 – 15:30, Moscone Convention Center, Room 202, as extended session to the 9th annual users meeting on RF device characterization from Maury Microwave The purpose is to share and discuss in an informal atmosphere new capabilities of commercial solutions for advanced component and system characterization, possibly in non-50 Ohm environments with a focus on nonlinear behavior.
