High Performance Frequency Synthesizer
This WiMAX Fractional-N synthesizer in IBM 7WL process delivers a –116 dBc/Hz phase noise performance and –90 dBc spurious response at 6 GHz output. High phase noise and spurs can cause tremendous problems for system designers. Error vector magnitude (EVM) is a tight requirement for OFDM systems such as WiMAX. Phase noise causes a jitter in the EVM, whereas spurs cause EVM offsets. This leads to unacceptable packet error rates or low data throughput rates.

EM-software Tool
Version 6.6 of the EM-software tool μWave Wizard™ includes a set of new elements that have been developed for the radiation library that exploit the body of revolution (BOR) symmetry of circular waveguide horn antennas. The elements coincide with the specifications for various horn profiles, like vertically and axially corrugated horns, profiled smooth wall, ring loaded and Potter horn profiles. This eases the setup of the entire horn geometry since the process is now carried out automatically inside the element and accelerates the computation for multi-mode and tracking mode applications due to utilization of the BOR symmetry with the mode-matching method. Calculated electromagnetic fields within these elements can either be visualized in longitudinal cuts or the maximum values can be plotted versus frequency. This allows a faster evaluation of power handling capabilities for such structures.
