$Id: HISTORY,v 1.2 2001/09/05 17:52:45 dan Exp $ ############################## # 1.4.0 ############################## ------ Added the ability to specify voltage gain (gv=) or power gain (gp=) as well as input/output resistances (rin=, rout=). At this time, the calculations still assume matched conditions between each stage (ie, loading is not accounted for). This lets you specify a transformer as: transformer rin=50 rout=200 gp=0 ------ Added a new 'defaults' keyword. This lets you specify the default input resistance (rin=), default output resistance (rout=), and default 3rd order intermodulation distortion correlation coefficient (rho=). The 'defaults' keyword can be used anywhere in the cascade which is useful for changing defaults part way through the system. For example, a CATV receiver might start with 75 ohms: defaults rin=75 rout=75 and part way through the chain switch to 50 ohms: defaults rin=50 rout=50 ------ Open circuit and matched impedance voltage levels are now reported. ------ Added a new comment line start '@'. When a line like @ a verbose comment is found in the input file, it is echo'ed to the output. This lets you add annotations to the output. ------ The emacs mode for cascade is now semi-functional (font-lock works, but running cascade from within emacs isn't finished) and is installed. ------ cascade is now released under a BSD license which is much less restrictive than the previous license ############################## # 1.3.0 ############################## First release with configure script and Makefile for installation.
