Description
Featuring a highly advanced optimizer and intuitive interface, Match Suite helps engineers obtain fast and accurate impedance matching solutions for their microwave and RF design projects. This powerful software provides professionals with two effective methods for designing impedance matching circuits for both single and double matching problems. It enables practitioners to utilize the Carlin Real-Frequency method for achieving an L-C ladder synthesis solution and the Automated Smith chart graphical method for either refining a Carlin solution or to obtain a solution without using the Carlin Method. Offering advanced functionality at low cost, this new software enables engineers to obtain a 'good/better/best' range of results to help them determine optimal solutions. Minimum User Requirements: O/S - Vista or XP; RAM - Vista - 2GB (3 GB recommended); XP - 1GB (2 GB recommended); and, Graphics - Accelerator card/software recommended but not required.
