Competition to attract consumers in the wireless communications market is driving incredible innovation in the design of feature-rich devices in compact packages. Geometries are shrinking and integrated circuit (IC) densities are expanding, while at the same time application frequency and bandwidth grows. In order to reduce size and weight,...

Electronic design automation (EDA) tools have traditionally been developed as separate sets of tools offering little or no interoperability with third-party tools. As the design of next-generation communications products evolves and becomes increasingly complex, the need for a more integrated tool flow is elevated, and it has become obvious...

Ask any engineer what is needed from an RF/microwave design tool and you will think you are stuck in a scene from Top Gun : “I feel the need for speed.” The thirst for greater simulation speed is never quenched, although model accuracy is just as important. Go across...

Applied Wave Research Inc. (AWR™) has focused on an engineering effort to eliminate uncertainty in the high frequency design process by closing gaps in existing design methodologies and strengthening the links between system specifications and circuit performance, electrical design and physical layout, and computer simulation and RF measurements. This...
