ACS has recently released a new version of its LINC2 Pro RF and microwave circuit design software suite. Version
2.72 release L adds a new PIN diode model with forward and reverse (ON and OFF) characteristics modeled, providing
for simultaneous plots of both ON and OFF simulation results on the same graph. Equations can be formulated that
provide simulation of the ON resistance versus bias current, allowing for tuning of the PIN diode ON resistance in
real time (within the graph window) as a function of applied bias voltage and current. The latest edition of
LINC2 also offers enhanced schematic capture. Circuits can be entered manually or created automatically by a
number of circuit synthesis modules. The LINC2 Pro RF and microwave circuit design and analysis software suite
combines circuit synthesis, simulation, optimization and statistical yield analysis into a single integrated
design environment.
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
