Optenni Lab version 6.0 is released
Optenni unveils a new schematic entry environment to address complex challenges faced by antenna and RF front-end design engineers.
Optenni Ltd announced today a major update of Optenni Lab, a circuit synthesis software tailored for antenna and RF front-end design engineers. The new Optenni Lab version 6.0 offers a unique RF circuit design environment with fully integrated circuit synthesis capabilities and optimization of antenna and radiation characteristics.
Version 6.0 of Optenni Lab contains the following major improvements:
A new schematic entry environment, with unconstrained topology input, but still having access to the built-in synthesis and optimization tools tailored to antenna and RF front-end designs
Separate definitions of optimization and plotting frequencies for each optimization task, enabling the control of optimization speed versus accuracy and simultaneously maintaining smooth result graphs
A new menu structure
Many additional plot types for postprocessing the synthesis results
Optenni Lab version 6.0 features a new schematic entry environment that fulfills the needs of applications that were not adequately addressed in earlier versions. These include:
- Antenna multiplexing
- Array feed networks
- RF front-end architectures with signal branching
- Taking complex component layouts into account in circuit optimization
- Optimization of differential circuits
Switches, general S-parameter blocks, decoupling networks, antennas and other components can now be freely connected, while still having access to the built-in synthesis and optimization tools tailored to antenna and RF front-end designs.
In addition, the new version includes separate definitions of optimization and plotting frequencies for each optimization task, enabling the control of optimization speed versus accuracy and simultaneously maintaining smooth result graphs.
Users of Optenni Lab 6.0 will also enjoy an improved menu structure and numerous other enhancements, especially in plotting and postprocessing of the synthesis results.
“Optenni Lab 6.0 is our biggest software update yet. The introduction of the new schematic editor is expected to bring the power of circuit synthesis to many new application areas in antenna and RF design. With Optenni Lab, our customers can explore the theoretical limits, accelerate their design flow and maximize the wireless performance of their products.”
Optenni Lab’s schematic entry functionality includes special components for circuit synthesis and for the inclusion of antenna-related quantities, such as antenna impedances, efficiencies and radiation patterns.
