CST launches new product CST BOARDCHECK

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) launches a new product that analyzes PCBs with respect to EMC and SI related design rules. Design engineers dealing with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity (SI) of PCBs, can now employ CST BOARDCHECK™ to get a quick overview of potential problems in their layout. CST BOARDCHECK supports a multitude of popular layout formats such as CADENCE® ALLEGRO®, Zuken CR 5000, Mentor Graphics® Expedition® and ODB++, which are read-in using the sophisticated CST STUDIO SUITE® import filters.

A*STAR’s IME develops smallest antenna that can increase WiFi speed

Researchers from A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME) have developed the first compact high performance silicon-based cavity-backed slot (CBS) antenna that operates at 135 GHz. The antenna demonstrated 30 times stronger signal transmission over on-chip antennas at 135 GHz. At just 1.6 mm x 1.2 mm, approximately the size of a sesame seed, it is the smallest silicon-based CBS antenna reported to date for ready integration with active circuits.
