1       QProny

 QProny is an optional module for fast analysis of a high Q structures and loaded Q calculations.

QProny module assists the users of QuickWave^TM 3D in the analysis of high Q structures using very efficient digital signal processing techniques allowing reducing the simulation time. It uses one of the most robust signal processing techniques known as the Generalised Pencil of Function Method (GPOF) and employs unique and innovative methods for automatic selection of the most important parameters such as:

• the number of initial samples to be skipped,

• the number of samples required for model construction,

• the model order.

The QProny manual presents basic features of the QProny specialised module on a set of examples.
