PathWave RF Synthesis
(Genesys) Configuration
Affordable RF Circuit Synthesis & Simulation software
PathWave RF Synthesis Bundled Software
PathWave RF Synthesis software bundles provide RF design engineers with a choice of
value-packed, pre-configured software bundles built specifically for RF circuit synthesis
and simulation. These combinations enable you to analyze RF/microwave circuits and
systems with fast simulation, powerful synthesis and optimization technologies. Explore
performance-cost trade-offs with fast automatic circuit synthesis of multiple hardware
realization options. PathWave RF Synthesis provides affordable, easy-to-use and
accurate functionality suitable for all RF/microwave circuit board and subsystem
designers.
PathWave RF Synthesis bundles start from the W5300B PathWave RF Synthesis
(Genesys) Core environment with incremental addition of increasingly powerful RF
Synthesis and Simulation element capabilities.
Synthesis and Simulation elements are themselves comprised of one or more separate
modules, which add additional synthesis and simulation functions. These modules, which
were formerly sold separately, are now grouped together into very powerful and
affordable combinations.

Base bundle
The W5300B PathWave RF Synthesis (Genesys) Core bundle is the foundation for all
other PathWave RF Synthesis bundles. It is already a powerful starter bundle containing
the easy-to-use Genesys user environment comprising schematic capture, linear &
statistical simulators, optimizers, data display, layout, Matlab scripting and
instrumentation links. The remaining PathWave RF Synthesis bundles add powerful
circuit synthesis; nonlinear circuit, system and electromagnetic simulators to the core
environment.
