  • Multisim

Issue Details

  • Can Multisim be used to simulate Radio communications circuits such as FM transmitters and receivers, oscillators, amplifiers, etc?
  • Is Multisim compatible with RF simulations, and does it include components of RF as well?

Solution

Multisim RF provides fundamental RF circuit design features needed to design, analyze and simulate RF circuits.

It consists of:
  •  RF-specific components, including customized RF SPICE models
  • Model makers for creating your own RF models
  • Two RF-specific instruments (Spectrum Analyzer and Network Analyzer)
  • Several RF-specific analyses (circuit characterizer, matching network cells, noise figure).
Elements of the RF design functionality are fully integrated into Multisim. The instruments, analyses, and components are installed in the same places and invoked in the same way as all other instruments, analyses, and components. The RF components have their own group which is accessed via the RF button on the Components toolbar and the RF instruments are accessed through the Instruments toolbar.
