SOFTWARE

µWave Wizard Version 9.1

Mician’s µWave Wizard software products are powerful tools for synthesis, analysis and optimization of microwave assemblies. The hybrid EM solver guarantees fast and accurate simulation of passive components, feed networks and antennas. The latest release, version 9.1, offers improved CAD export to STEP files of structures containing cylindrical and conical surfaces. The new feature “adaptive frequency sweep on subcircuit level” accelerates the computation for typical cavity filters. It enables a single simulation using individual adaptive frequency loops for each subcircuit. Besides new and modified mode matching based elements the new release also supports second order meshes of all 3D FEM solvers.

ANTENNAS

Waterproof Monopole Whip Antenna

RFMW announces design and sales support for a Southwest Antennas’ monopole whip antenna. The 1000-046 omni-directional antenna operates from 330 to 360 MHz with a peak gain of 2.0 dBi. This flexible antenna features a tough, braided aircraft wire element with a sealed heat shrink exterior and fully potted and waterproof base containing the antenna’s matching components. The resulting antenna is rugged for use in harsh environments yet is flexible enough to bend if the whip is impacted by another object. The 1000-046 features a BNC male connector for attachment.

TEST & MEASUREMENT

5 GHz Bandwidth Radar Target Simulator

Ultra-high-resolution imaging radars, often referred to as 4-D radars, provide detailed images of the radar’s surroundings with a wide field of view as well as elevation, distance and speed information. Tests of these radar sensors place high demands on the capabilities and bandwidth of the radar target simulator used. The dSPACE Automotive Radar Test System (DARTS) 9040-G is the first RTS to successfully meet these challenges with powerful radio frequency technology.
