[. . . ] Determine if enhancements, bugs, or compatibility considerations in other products impact you. If you are upgrading from a software version other than the most recent one, review the current release notes and all interim versions. For example, when you upgrade from V1. 0 to V1. 2, review the release notes for V1. 1 and V1. 2. What Is in the Release Notes New Features and Changes · New functionality · Changes to existing functionality 1 SimRFTM Release Notes Version Compatibility Considerations When a new feature or change introduces a reported incompatibility between versions, the Compatibility Considerations subsection explains the impact. Compatibility issues reported after the product release appear under Bug Reports at the MathWorks Web site. Bug fixes can sometimes result in incompatibilities, so review the fixed bugs in Bug Reports for any compatibility impact. Fixed Bugs and Known Problems MathWorks offers a user-searchable Bug Reports database so you can view Bug Reports. The development team updates this database at release time and as more information becomes available. Bug Reports include provisions for any known workarounds or file replacements. Information is available for bugs existing in or fixed in Release 14SP2 or later. Information is not available for all bugs in earlier releases.

Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Related Documentation at Web Site Printable Release Notes: PDF Current product documentation New features and changes introduced in this version are: · "New Circuit Envelope Library" on page 3 · "New Circuit-Envelope Simulation Environment" on page 4 · "New RF System Demos" on page 5 New Circuit Envelope Library SimRFTM 3. 0 software introduces Circuit Envelope Elements, Sources, and Utilities libraries, which contain: · Capacitor, Inductor, Resistor, and Impedance blocks that can connect in any configuration. · A 2-port Amplifier block and a 3-port Mixer block, which support second-order and third-order nonlinearity modeling. · An S-Parameters block for modeling black-box elements with up to four ports. · Continuous Wave, Sinusoid, and Noise current and voltage sources that can model signals at multiple carrier frequencies simultaneously. · A SimRF Outport block for probing signals from any location in an RF network. 3 SimRFTM Release Notes For a full list of SimRF Circuit Envelope library blocks, see the SimRF Reference documentation. New Circuit-Envelope Simulation Environment SimRF 3. 0 software introduces circuit-envelope simulation of RF systems into the Simulink environment. [. . . ] · Blocks in the SimRF Circuit Envelope library do not connect to blocks in the Equivalent Baseband library or Idealized Baseband library. To pass data between these blocks, convert signals from SimRF Circuit Envelope and Equivalent Baseband library blocks to Simulink signals using: - Circuit Envelope library SimRF Inport and SimRF Outport blocks. Equivalent Baseband library Input Port and Output Port blocks. · If you have Signal Processing Blockset installed, models built in RF Blockset version 2. 5. 1 run in SimRF version 3. 0. 4 Version 3. 0 (R2010b) SimRFTM · RF Blockset version 2. 5. 1 documentation is contained within the SimRF documentation. New RF System Demos SimRF version 3. 0 introduces eight new demos: · AC Analysis of an RF System · Architectural Design of a Low-IF Receiver System · Executable Specification of a Direct Conversion Receiver · Frequency Response of an RF Transmit/Receive Duplex Filter · Impact of an RF Receiver on Communication System Performance · Measuring Image Rejection Ratio in Receivers · Two-Tone Envelope Analysis Using Real Signals · Validating IP2/IP3 Using Complex Signals 5 SimRFTM Release Notes Compatibility Summary for SimRF This table summarizes new features and changes that might cause incompatibilities when you upgrade from an earlier version, or when you use files on multiple versions.
