We are glad to announce that AMCAD has completed the installation of a new load pull measurement setup operating at V-band to test new power transistors made by United Monolithic Semiconductors.

AMCAD reached another milestone.The new AMCAD engineering team based in Toulouse, the city of Aerospace Industry, delivered and installed a new RF solution to Thales Alenia Space.In the 19-inch chassis, different RF building blocks where assembled to provide optimized specifications as defined in the Statement of Work provided by the end user. The development of […]

AMCAD proposes now to combine the advantage of both solutions using one innovative tool. The IQMASTER VST solution embed cost-effective RF Soc that are usually found in Radio Equipment. On top, a high-end software (IQSTAR) takes control of the RF SoC. This offers a powerful turn-key solution with calibrated, flexible and advanced measurement capabilities. Using […]

ITEST is a sister company of AMCAD. In order to better support both company's customers, our IQSTAR software platform now offers control of BILT chassis, making it possible to provide modular test solutions.

AMCAD Engineering announce the release of IQSTAR 1.4, the most advanced RF Circuit Characterization Software. This major release includes new modules and features to address the industry's additional applications and measurement requirements. It also showcases enhancements of the capabilities of the existing modules to increase user experience satisfaction.

The arrival of the 5G has considerably changed the design process of wireless communication systems. In this new generation, there is a need to improve the area throughput, but allocating more bandwidth (physically impractical) and deploying more base stations (high deployment cost, inter-cell interferences) is not feasible.

The evolution of wireless communications technologies has given rise to new architectures in the radio chain, from precoding to the active antenna, where different techniques have been developed to improve the capacity and coverage of the network.

AMCAD Engineering made the cover feature of the Microwave Journal Magazine this month. As this edition was dedicated to CAD software, it made perfect sense for the editor to reserve the cover feature to AMCAD system simulation software VISION. VISION starts attracting more and more users who are facing system design challenges and looking for […]

"IQSTAR, a measurement software from AMCAD Engineering is a true business partner which accelerates characterization and measurements of RF power amplifiers for different power and frequency levels as per 5G standards.  The modular form of software allows efficient and reliable measurements thereby helping in development of state of art products.” Said Dr. Tushar Sharma, Senior RF Design Engineer at Renesas Electronics"

“Designing Power Amplifier working from a few GHz up to mmWave frequencies to deliver high output power can be very challenging. When designing MMICs, stability analysis is a must to have. Circuits cannot be adjusted after fabrication. Therefore, a thorough and reliable stability analysis is necessary to successfully achieve circuit design specifications. We knew that STAN was the perfect tool to reach a first path design success ! ” Dr. Iban Barrutia Inza, University of Cantabria, Spain
