Mixer Spur Analyzer
This mixer spur analyzer is a circular chart that enables the user to check for the existence of the highest level spur products in the block downconverter mode. The chart helps users to choose the best LO and IF frequencies for wideband downconverters requiring low spur levels and speeds the choice of operating parameters that are later more closely analyzed for higher order products by a numerical program.

Transient Analysis Simulator
The MMICAD WAVEFORM time domain, transient analysis simulator allows for the prediction of waveforms in fast, nonlinear circuits where accurate S-parameter data can be imported and used in the simulation. Beneficial applications of the software include complex, externally defined voltage and current source driving waveforms; signals large enough to cause strongly nonlinear operation of the active devices; circuits which have inherently, and strongly, nonlinear electrical response, including assessing the stability of power MMICs; and transient phenomenon of interest, for example, the startup of oscillations or phase shift as a function of time in pulsed microwave circuits. Price: starting from $7500.
