WAVECON

WaveCon offers four circuit design and analysis software packages. ProCAP, our newest software is a comprehensive general nodal analysis program for analyzing circuits commonly used by RF/Microwave engineers.

ANALYSIS CAPABILITIES OF ProCAP
Complete Nodal Circuit Analysis.
Multiple Coupled Line Analysis.
Noise Analysis including Transistor.
Noise Circles.
Transducer Input and Output Parameters.
Monte Carlo Sensitivity Analysis.
Optimization Capability.
Tune Capability.
Equation Capability.
Extensive Device Data Libraries.
Many Output Plots and Numerical Lists..
Two and Three-Port analysis

SYNTHESIS CAPABILITIES OF ProCAP
Transmission Line Analysis and Synthesis.
L-C Filter Synthesis.
Matching a One-Port.

ProCAP is designed to import filter design input from the companion filter design program, Parfil.

WaveCon's filter design software Parfil and Elliptic designs many different types of RF and microwave filters.  It is used for design of both printed filters and bar or rod filters.  Parfil designs 20 types of coupled line and transmission line filters with Butterworth, Chebychev and Flat Group Delay response characteristics.   Elliptic designs 9 types of Elliptic and Cross-Coupled  filters. These filters may also be designed for flat group delay within the passband of the filter. In addition, designs may be made for ros filters with rod coupling through an aperture or septum.

WaveCon also has a program, LineComp for analysis and synthesis of single and coupled transmission lines. Fourteen commonly used transmission lines may be analyzed or synthesized with LineComp.

SAMPLE FILTER DESIGNS WITH MEASURED RESULTS

All of the measured results include the fixture with SMA connectors and line losses leading to and from the filter.  Consequently, the return loses are degrade with increasing frequency. None of the filters were tuned to optimize performance.
