LLAMA (Lincoln Laboratory Advanced MARTHA Applications) Software Manual
Abstract
For the past 25 years or more, a number of staff members at MIT Lincoln Laboratory have made extensive use of the APL computer language to solve a variety of problems, primarily in the area of radio frequency and microwave circuit design. This was aided and inspired by the availability of the MARTHA software package, which is a collection of APL-based circuit analysis functions developed by Professor Paul Penfield Jr. at MIT. The Lincoln Laboratory Advanced MARTHA Applications (or LLAMA for short) is a set of 15 workspaces (a collection of APL functions) developed primarily in conjunction with MARTHA. Many of the workspaces are an extension ofMARTHA, and allow the use of a new circuit elements or new types of analysis. A number of workspaces are devoted to filter synthesis, using both lumped elements and coupled microstrip transmission lines. Other workspaces are aimed toward RF system design, including mixer-spur and dynamic-range analysis. This manual is intended to provide more formal documentation for this resource than has previously been available. It is shoped that it will allow new users to quickly make use ofall thatAPL and MARTHA have to offer, as well as providing a concise, well-indexed reference for the more experienced user.
