In the past, high frequency RF and microwave design engineers faced difficult choices when selecting an electromagnetic (EM) design and verification tool. The choices were often between a full-blown 3D EM tool with great accuracy but less than optimal simulation speed and design flow integration, or a planar EM...

Over the last several years, III-V heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) have become an increasingly important technology for a variety of rapidly growing markets. GaAs-based HBTs now play a major role in wireless communications. Key applications include power amplifiers for handset phones, wireless LAN and numerous other high speed analog...

Creating single-emitter pulse patterns for testing radar receivers is a complex, time-consuming process because of the extensive mathematics required, whether creating the initial waveform, modifying any of its characteristics such as pulse shaping and compression, or creating custom pulse patterns. A comprehensive software application called Signal Studio for Pulse...
