Introduction to SData+®
"We do data - precisely!"
PROBLEM:
Vendor scattering parameter and noise data are typically w i d e l y spaced, and, usually, or so it seems, never specified at frequencies where you need it! The time honored solution is linear interpolation, but, real devices do not vary in linear fashion. Using this type data tends to skew the response and adds "cut & tweak" time. Isn't there a better way? Yes, - read on!
SOLUTION:
Scan the vendor data file, and then let SData+ fit a 3rd degree natural spline function, (a mathematical french curve), to the vendor data, and then generate new data, at the in-between points. This data will be closer to real world than any linearly interpolated data can be. SData+ does this and a lot more!
As an added benefit, for Users of our other software products, SData+ will create .CKT files for use by our Sceptre program, and .IMP files for use with our SmithMatch program. This lets you scan and enhance data, then quickly generate and design impedance matching networks.
QUESTION:
Why isn't our SData+ program in your tool box? One use of it will recover the $29.50 purchase price within minutes. All prices are in USD, and for a single-user license.

A Data File Summary containing information about an NEC NE02135A device is shown below. Along with it is vendor data spaced at 500 MHz intervals - wouldn't you know it?
An engineer wants to build an amplifier operating in the 2.0-2.5 GHz range. Using the vendor data, all he/she has are two data points at the band edges! Lets do a spline fit and generate six data points.
Here are two of the data files generated by SData+. One is spline fit s-data, and the other is spline fit noise data.
Now that we have data across our operating band, thanks to SData+, our design should come out closer on our first cut! In reality though, as you know, your actual design file should incorporate a few frequencies far removed on each side of the operating band in order to check on stability.
O.K. so far? Shown below is additional data generated by SData+, FIVE more tabulations of useful data!
MATERIAL INCLUDED:
The program, and its support files, can be downloaded, by you, direct from our server. The User Manual for SData+ is available on-line. You can view it or print it out at your leisure. By having an on-line manual, you're assured that you will get any typo error corrections or tips instantly! Your manual will never be "out of date."

SData+ will let
you really document your designs and put on a very
impressive "dog & pony show" when you have to do a presentation
to visiting customers in-house!
EASE OF USE:
This program is menu driven and very simple to use. The User Manual is clearly written, (you can READ IT on-line), and tutorial in nature. It shows the User how to enhance vendor scattering parameter and noise data, and how to generate many other useful device parameters.
