Agilent Technologies Inc. announced a new software feature for handheld wireless measurements on its E6474A network optimization platform that turns a standard WiMAX PC Card (CPE) into the industry’s smallest WiMAX scanning solution for Drive Test. This new mode of operation gives network equipment manufacturers and wireless operators’ RF...

Electromagnetic (EM) simulation provides accuracy at the expense of speed. In situations where accuracy is crucial and the problem size large, such as compacting an RFIC or complex RF board onto a small area to meet cost and size requirements, simulation times can be unbearably long. When each simulation...
