Asymmetrical Bandpass Filter Design
Nuhertz announces improved capability in FilterSolutions®, synthesis software. The program now instantly and accurately automates design of asymmetric bandpass filters which do not require symmetric attenuation response on each side of the passband. Rather than utilizing optimization or manual pole-zero tuning, FilterSolutions provides an accurate, automated method for setting asymmetric design parameters. The only data needed are the independent attenuation goals and the number of poles for each side of the passband. FilterSolutions instantly provides the exact solution.

Online Simulator
X-Microwave introduced its Online Nonlinear System Simulator powered by Keysight’s Genesys Spectrasys. Simulate with hundreds of models of real system components using the intuitive user interface. X-parameter or S-parameter models are extracted from X-Microwave’s drop-in components (X-MWblocks) using Keysight’s PNA-X analyzer. An X-parameter model of an amplifier serves as a live datasheet to determine the P1dB or IP3 at a given operating point of interest. Quickly cascade microwave components and simulate to view the spectral content at any node of the block diagram.
