TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies' Latest Genesys Software Provides First-Pass RF/Microwave Accuracy, Shorter Physical Design Cycles.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced that the company is shipping Genesys 2007.08. This latest release of Genesys includes new statistical and electromagnetic electromagnetic /elec·tro·mag·net·ic/ (-mag-net´ik) involving both electricity and magnetism. electromagnetic pertaining to or emanating from electromagnetism. analyses that provide affordable, first-pass accuracy for RF and microwave designs, resulting in shorter physical design cycles and faster time to market. The new Genesys features the RF industry's only EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. environment that has realistic statistical component variations, histograms and yield optimization optimization Field of applied mathematics whose principles and methods are used to solve quantitative problems in disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and economics. at a price that is comparable with consumer-oriented computational software. These new statistical analysis features, together with Agilent's Momentum GX (the high-performance planar-3D EM simulator (1) Software that enables the execution of an application written for a different computer environment. Same as emulator. (2) Software that models the interactions of hypothetical or real-world objects or business processes. announced in August) enables highly accurate physical design. The powerful combination of technologies is available at a price that individual designers and small-budget design houses can afford. "The inspiration for our enhanced statistical capability originated with one of our larger customers using Six Sigma Not to be confused with Sigma 6. Six Sigma is a set of practices originally developed by Motorola to systematically improve processes by eliminating defects.[1] A defect is defined as nonconformity of a product or service to its specifications. design techniques," said Daren McClearnon, product marketing manager with Agilent's EEsof EDA division. "The customer wanted to implement Six Sigma methodology at the RF system architecture level, to transition away from spreadsheet-based tools. By implementing the required statistical capability as part of the Genesys platform, we fulfilled not only the customer's desire for more elegant system architecture tools, but we also opened these high-yield techniques to the broader RF community." The Genesys statistical features include: * new statistical distribution functions, applicable to any variable or component parameter; * histogram histogram or bar graph Graph using vertical or horizontal bars whose lengths indicate quantities. Along with the pie chart, the histogram is the most common format for representing statistical data. plots, for use with circuit, RF system, and EM simulation types; and * 17 new statistics-oriented equations and measurements. When combined with statistical Monte Carlo Monte Carlo (môNtā` kärlō`), town (1982 pop. 13,150), principality of Monaco, on the Mediterranean Sea and the French Riviera. and Yield Optimization, along with physical models, RF-aware layout, and circuit/system/EM simulators, Genesys 2007.08 provides the key capabilities for high-performance physical design. Genesys 2007.08 also provides: * Momentum GX, a high-performance planar-3D EM simulator, which delivers the accuracy required for first-pass microwave design success; * voltage-based system models and measurements, so that Spectrasys, the system design tool for use with Genesys, can be applied to modern, RFIC-based system architectures; and * new licensing options for keyless ("ADS-style") licensing and accelerated evaluations. About Genesys Eagleware-Elanix, the originator Originator A bank, savings and loan, or mortgage banker that initially made a mortgage loan that is part of a pool. Also, an investment bank that has worked with the issuer of a new securities offering from the beginning and is usually appointed manager of the underwriting of Genesys, was acquired by Agilent Technologies in 2005. Agilent EEsof EDA continues to build on and enhance the Genesys platform, an integrated EDA software package for self-supporting RF and microwave designers and workgroups. From initial system architecture through final documentation, Genesys provides state-of-the-art performance in a single easy-to-use design environment that is fast, powerful and accurate. U.S. Pricing and Availability Current Genesys software suites include four bundles that are priced less than $10,000. Configurations for high-yield linear design start at $3,995. The Genesys/Momentum GX bundle is priced at approximately $15,000. Through October 2007, Agilent is offering special discounts on electromagnetic analysis tools.
