IVCAD Device Characterization is a comprehensive and advanced measurement platform which enables RF & Microwave component characterization, through pulsed IV , S parameters and load pull measurements.
IVCAD 3.8 release
December 2018 : AMCAD Engineering and strategic partner Maury Microwave announce the latest release of MT930-series IVCAD measurement and modeling device characterization software. All new IVCAD 3.8 features include :
- MT930GA Time Domain Large Signal Analysis (LSA) add-on module for MT930C Vector-Receiver Load Pull which enables time-domain large signal analysis and waveform reconstruction when used with supported VNAs and comb generators (harmonic phase references), and does not require third-party nonlinear VNA software
- Simple upgrade to existing VNA based load pull system enables LSA time-domain voltage and current waveform analysis
- Compatible with MT930M1 linear model extraction to de-embed waveforms to DUT’s intrinsic reference plane
- Supports most commercial VNAs (requires 5 receivers, see release note for supported models)
- Single software platform and interface for turnkey calibration, validation, measurement and visualization/analysis
- Cohesive modeling solution includes load pull with time-domain waveforms and behavioral model extraction (EPHD) from one set of measurements
- Native 64-bit version
- The addition of source-gamma auto calibration, spurious sweeps and an updated driver wizard to build custom spectrum and vector-signal analyzer drivers for MT930D1 Traditional Load Pull
- Updated drivers for semi-automated probe station control
- General speed and User Interface improvements
