Peregrine products added to X-Microwave simulation system

15 June 2016 Test & Measurement Design Automation

X-Microwave and Peregrine Semiconductor announced their collaboration and the addition of Peregrine’s RF products to X-Microwave’s online simulation tool and hardware prototyping system.

X-Microwave’s building-block system simplifies the modular design process and enables RF engineers to easily simulate and prototype RF and microwave circuits. To kick off this relationship, 16 Peregrine products are being added to the X-Microwave system as drop-in X-MWblock components.

At the heart of X-Microwave’s system is an X-MWblock portfolio of hundreds of physically compatible, drop-in or drop-on components. These components are highly characterised and modelled with X-Parameters and S-Parameters at the system block level.

To create a modular design, X-Microwave provides a free, non-linear online simulation tool that leverages Keysight’s Genesys Spectrasys engine. After simulation, X-MWblock drop-in components are used to prototype systems through X-Microwave’s innovative prototype station for testing, aligning and configuring integrated microwave assemblies up to 50 GHz. Finally, the same X-MWblock components can be moved from the prototype station directly to machined housings for production hardware, eliminating the need for custom layouts.

The Peregrine products now available in the X-Microwave system include RF switches, digital step attenuators, tuning control switches, power limiters and monolithic phase and amplitude controllers. These products have a prominent link on their Peregrine webpage that directs ­users to the product’s X-MWblock web page.
