COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2
As we work toward 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT), designers of RF and microwaves devices will benefit from multiphysics modeling and simulation of antennas and circuits. The latest version of COMSOL Multiphysics with its Application Builder gives engineers a competitive advantage to deliver the best design solutions by building custom applications that allow anyone on their team or other departments to test different operating conditions and configurations — leaving them free to develop new concepts.

MIPI Receiver Test Software
The Keysight M8085A MIPI C-PHY receiver test solution is designed for engineers in semiconductor and IP vendor companies who need to perform conformance and margin tests. The MIPI C-PHY 1.0 standard supports camera and display applications. The standard comprises multilevel, non-NRZ, non-differential signaling. The M8085A software provides the industry’s first complete and standard-conformant routines for calibration of signal parameters and physical layer (PHY) receiver tests. Users can achieve results and gain insight without the need to become experts in the MIPI standard or on using arbitrary waveform generators.
