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.

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.

CST is excited to announce a new series of technical webinars focusing on the major benefits of full wave simulation to the high frequency/high speed design process.

AWR Corp. has finalized the agendas and opened registration for the 2012 AWR Design Forum (ADF) (www.awrdesignforum.com) China venues of Xi’an and Chengdu.  More information can be found at the links below.

Skyworks Solutions Inc. introduced its LED camera flash driver solutions. Skyworks’ patented AS2Cwire™ digital interface is used to enable, disable, configure and program the operation of AAT1274, a high efficiency, 1.5A high-current boost converter for LED photo flash applications.

Anritsu Co. introduces software options for its MT8820C radio communication analyzer that allows the one-box tester to perform testing of LTE FDD Band 22 and LTE TDD Band 42/43 LTE smartphones and mobile terminals. The extended functionality enhances the capability of the MT8820C, which can be used to test all mobile communications technologies, and allows the inherent cost and time efficiencies associated with the MT8820C to be realized in the development of LTE FDD Band 22 and LTE TDD Band 42/43 LTE phones and devices.

National Instruments introduced NI LabVIEW 2012, the latest version of its system design software. Users gain ready-to-run starting points for a breadth of LabVIEW applications and access to new training options that help improve the quality of their systems.

National Instruments introduced the world’s first RF vector signal transceiver (VST), the NI PXIe-5644R, and with it, a new class of software-designed instrumentation. This software-centric architecture represents a new era in which engineers and scientists can use LabVIEW to tailor open, field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based hardware for their specific needs.

AWR Corp. <http://www.awrcorp.com/>, the innovation leader in high-frequency EDA, will exhibit within the RF and Wireless Pavilion on August 7-8 during NIWeek 2012 <http://www.ni.com/niweek/conference.htm>, being held in Austin, Texas.

AWR Corp. announces its European phase of its ADF 2012 tour, an open event for designers of microwave and RF circuits and systems such as MMIC, RFIC, RF PCB, modules, and communication systems.
