Keysight Technologies Inc. announced significant updates to its Signal Studio for LTE/LTE-Advanced FDD (N7624B) and TDD (N7625B) software. Both signal-creation tools now support key features of 3GPP Release 12 (Rel-12), accelerating time-to-market for developers of user equipment (UE) and evolved NodeB (eNB) base transceiver stations (BTS) designed to achieve greater spectral efficiency, higher data rates and more-robust links in heterogeneous networks (HetNets).

NI (formerly AWR Corp.) announces that a new 2015 edition of the eBook, RF Electronics: Design and Simulation, is now available free of charge to students, graduates, professors and industry professionals through its Professors in Partnership web portal.

Modelithics Inc., provider of the most comprehensive collection of high accuracy equivalent circuit models for RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave devices, announces this year’s major release of the Modelithics® COMPLETE Library™, version 12.1 for NI AWR Design Environment software.

Keysight Technologies Inc. announced that Asygn, a company specializing in mixed-signal design and verification, and Kalray, a fabless semiconductor company developing many-core processors, have successfully used the Keysight EEsof EDA simulation tool suite to validate PCI Express (PCIe®) Gen3 serial links on Kalray’s MPPA TurboCard2.

NI announces the availability of the first major release in 2015 of NI AWR Design Environment™ for designers of monolithic microwave integrated circuits, radio-frequency printed circuit boards, modules and more. This release boasts load-pull and antenna- and radar-specific features, as well as ease-of-use improvements, speed enhancements and third-party integration flows for improved stability analysis and design rule checking/layout versus schematic.

NI (formerly AWR Corp.) announces that Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NUST) electronic engineering students have designed a miniaturized bandpass filter (BPF) using NI AWR Design Environment™ software.

Signal Hound has updated its free Spike™ Spectrum Analysis software by creating a variety of digital modulation analysis tools for its BB60C and BB60A USB-powered real-time spectrum analyzers.

 Remcom announces a new circuit element optimizer for XFdtd® electromagnetic simulations software that optimizes matching circuits for several antennas serving multiple bands simultaneously. XFdtd’s Circuit Element Optimizer determines lumped element values based on the following goals: radiation efficiency, system efficiency, and S-parameters. This simplifies the antenna matching workflow because the circuit elements remain in the electromagnetic layout structure during optimization. 

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces the release of CST STUDIO SUITE® – Student Edition, a special free version of its flagship electromagnetic simulation package designed to help the engineers of tomorrow to get to grips with the basics of electromagnetic theory, at IMS 2015, booth #3244.
