What is IVCAD?

IVCAD Suite is an integrated collection of software functionalities that supports the entire workflow of RF measurement, modeling, and simulation of active and nonlinear components — helping engineers achieve reliable circuit and system designs from the very first steps.

Originally created by AMCAD Engineering, a company recognized for pioneering advanced measurement techniques and high-accuracy component and circuit modeling, the platform has continued to evolve and is now part of the SIMULIA EMAG portfolio. In May 2024, AMCAD Engineering joined Dassault Systèmes (3DS).

This acquisition strengthens the SIMULIA portfolio, creating a natural synergy with CST Studio Suite and expanding its capabilities. The combined technologies now offer a more complete environment for simulating and validating active RF devices and systems positioned before or after the antenna in the signal chain

IVCAD Suite Brochure

This brochure provides a high-level overview of the software’s capabilities and its role in RF measurement, modeling, and simulation workflows. It introduces the key challenges faced in modern RF design and explains how IVCAD addresses them through integrated test bench control, advanced measurement techniques, and nonlinear modeling.

Inside, readers will find an overview of core functionalities such as pulsed IV and RF measurements, load-pull characterization, nonlinear stability analysis, transistor modeling, and model validation using modulated signals. It also highlights how measurement data can be leveraged for behavioral modeling and system-level simulation, including integration with CST Studio Suite.

This one concludes with examples of application domains where IVCAD is used, illustrating how the solution supports a wide range of industries and RF system design challenges.
