NI AWR Design Environment : Version 22.1 – (PC Software)

In the fast changing nature of high-frequency electronics, from 5G and radar to IoT and satellite communications, an integrated design and validation of RF/microwave circuits and systems introduces challenges that heretofore have not been seen. Moreover, the NI AWR Design Environment comes into sharp prominence in addressing such problems. The Version 22.1 launch is another critical milestone in the development of design tools and capabilities, with huge developments aimed at simplifying the experience for users, improving simulation accuracy, and maintaining good communication with collaborators.

The NI AWR Design Environment is an off-the-shelf set of software tools best fit for those who are into the design, simulation, or verification of various components of electronic high-frequency products. At its core, the software is built around two main instruments: Microwave Office, which is used for designing circuit parts, both linear and nonlinear, and Visual System Simulator (VSS), used to create system-level paradigms including modulation analysis. 22.1 Version is an incremental release, which is not only a painting but also focuses on refining the workflows, enhancing the model libraries, and increasing the capability to integrate other NI and third-party tools that will make this version the complete platform for end-to-end RF design.

22.1 improves on this basic concept of an integrated data environment by emphasizing the single project file, single data library, and single control window (or user interface) for all tools within the AWR Design Environment. It merges the aspects of the systems development cycle within the design flow, which take the form of data interchange and format conversions between different stages of the design. The environment allows for the whole product life space, ranging from initial system concept design up to the utilization of the final layout resultant in designated design-for-manufacturing (DFM) checks. It is truly acknowledged for its distinctive electromagnetic (EM) simulation systems, enabling it to co-simulate the circuit and the EM analyses to perfection for utmost precision in high-frequency applications.

Software Version 22.1 has extensive features that satisfy the end user:
