Microwave Software Available:
Communication Design System (CDS)
and
Advanced Design System (ADS)
-
Labwindow, Labview and HPVEE for data acquisition
-
CDS/ADS are schematic capture simulators for the simulation
of complete communication system including, microwave network, antenna
and link, and signal processing.
-
CDS Libra and ADS , are schematic-capture based
harmonic-balance and transient microwave-simulator which permits the users
to verify and optimize their design as well as generate the layout for
board or chip fabrication.
