GENESYS 2003.03 Service Pack Changes/Fixes

Note that the full install is about 90MB.

SP3 - Available June 19, 2003 - Build 2003.03.13--- Changes

1. Fixed: The optimizer was not always converging as quickly as it should,
   it was following a suboptimal path.
2. Fixed: The optimizer was redrawing the schematic too often, slowing it substantially.
3. Fixed: Harbec HB analysis had frequency interpolation issues.
4. Fixed: GDS export had issues with units of measure and vias.
5. Fixed: the DEFAULT.EG$ file was incorrect for TLine and PLL (not available
   in the patch, but see the forum for info on how to manually fix this).
6. Fixed: Non-reciprocal noise handling in Spectrasys is now correct.
7. Fixed: Schematic units of measure can now be changed.
8. Fixed: The GENESYS License Server now works in Windows 98.
9. Improved: Advanced TLine conversion is more accurate for coupled lines.
10. Improved: GENESYS now loads the LDMOS libraries more quickly.
11. Improved: Authorization for network licenses has better error checking when
    filling the network list.
12. Improved: Authorization prompts are more accurate for GENESYS Personal.
13. Improved: When adding high-accuracy models, the auto designators are now R,L, and C.
14. Added: Two new measurements for Spectrasys, PRNF (percent Noise Figure)
    and PRIM3 (percent Intermod)
15. Added: A new VBIC transistor model

SP2 is the second service pack for GENESYS 2003.03. This is build #12.

Changes for 2003.03 SP2

1. Some files with HARBEC analyses would not load correctly.

SP1 is the first service pack for GENESYS 2003.03. This is build #11.

Changes for 2003.03 SP1

1. Link to S-Parameter data files now correctly parses frequencies in scientific notation

3. Fixed linkage to user defined symbols in loaded workspaces
4. Gain compression was added to the Attenuator, Variable Attenuator, and Switch models
5. Updated the channel frequency measurements of Offset Channel Frequency, Tone Channel Frequency, and Adjacent Channel Frequency to account for sideband inversions when using LO high side injection mixers
6. Improved default values for the modulated source in Spectrasys
7. Default order has been set to 3 for Microwave Filter Synthesis
8. Empower now responds to the Esc key more than once

15. Authorize now correctly works with GENESYS Personal.
16. Windows NT now correctly brings up the right mouse menus in the workspace tree.
17. Windows NT now loads the LDMOS libraries.
18. The Japanese language version now correctly edits substrates.
19. HARBEC will now correctly analyze non-linear circuits that used to have oscillator ports.
