Filter Design and Optimization Using the R&S®ZVA/ZVB/ZVT Integrated with AWR® EDA Software

This application note describes how to integrate R&S^®ZVA/ZVB/ZVT vector network analyzers with AWR's electronic design automation (EDA) software. Measured data can be exported using the AWR^® TestWave™ tool via GPIB/LAN and verified with simulated data. Basic filter design is simplified with the AWR^® iFilter™ filter synthesis wizard, an optimization tool that can be introduced to correlate measured data with simulated data.
