SYSCALC 6 - FEATURES OVERVIEW

 

Key Benefits

 

  • Organize your system block diagram into separate subsystems or linked pages using SysCalc's unique NoteBook metaphor.  Subsystem data automatically scrolls into parent page.
  • Do "what if" scenarios instantly using powerful spreadsheet-like capabilities
  • Discover system deficiencies quickly with SysCalc's automatic calculation of noise figure and intermodulation contributions on a block-by-block basis.
  • Incorporate BER (bit-error rate) information into the system model for a variety of modulation schemes (FM, BPSK/QPSK, DPSK, FSK, OOK, ASK, PCM, PI/4 DQPSK, PAM, QAM).
  • Quickly analyze interior points of the cascade by moving the system generator and probe icons.
  • Cut, copy and paste components/pages between projects

  • Save working notes with each file, system page or component. Automatic preview of the notes in FileOpen Dialog Box.

 

New Component Input parameters

  • Input and output impedance can be defined for each component.

  • Backoff in dB below OP1dB defined for each component.

 

New Output parameters

Gain+

the cumulative gain (dB) from the from the beginning of the page through the current component.

NF_eff

the effective noise figure (dB) of the component within the system.

NF+

the cumulative NF_eff (dB) from the from the beginning of the page through the current component.

No

the output noise power (dBm) of the component.

Vi

the component input voltage (rms).

Vo

the component output voltage (rms).

 

Frequency Dependent Modeling

 

  • Effective IPx due to filtering

  • Adjacent channel calculations

  • Frequency sweeps

  • Source Palette facilitates easy change of Freq/Pwr parameters

 

Mixer model

 

  • SSB LO noise profiling (Screen Shot)

  • Fixed or tunable

  • Hi (Low)-side LO injection

  • Up (Down) converter

  • Attach files defining harmonic IM suppression

  • Specify image rejection

 

Filter Model

  • Models include Bessel, Brickwall, Butterworth and Chebyshev

  • Effective noise bandwidth (Screen Shot)

 

Reports

 

 

Other

 

  • Attach industry XML or S-parameter files to any component.  XML files allow any parameter(s) to be characterized over frequency and/or temperature.

  • Track project power consumption.

 

Misc

 

  • System pages can be individually customized to show just the information you want to see.

  • Powerful reports can be attached to any system page: standard report, linearity report, graph report, yield report and link-budget report.

  • AGC (Automatic Gain Control) block provides dynamic power control capability.

  • Component parameters include NF (Noise Figure), Te (Effective Noise Temperature), Input or Output 1 dB Compression Point, 2nd Order Intercept Point (Input or Output), 3rd Order Intercept Point (Input or Output).

  • Component parameters can have associated tolerance and temperature coefficient data.

  • Build Library models for frequently used components.

 

Summary

 

SysCalc’s powerful features allow you to intelligently balance performance parameters such as dynamic range, sensitivity, spurious levels, gain distribution, temperature and tolerance variations. 

 

Parameter Expressions

 

  • Each parameter can be related to other parameters within the same component through mathematical expressions. For instance, Psat can be defined as 3 dB above P1dB.

 

New Graph Features

  • More extensive and flexible sweep definitions

  • Rescale to define new graph extents

  • Auto-Scaling

 

And More...

 

  • Numerous features make the user interface better than ever for accomplishing simple and complex tasks.

  • Project files are now saved in XML format giving software developers an easy path to reading and writing SysCalc files.
