EDA COMPANIES TOUT RF DESIGN, LINKS TO TEST: FROM RF/MICROWAVE-CIRCUIT-DESIGN TOOLS TO ELECTROMAGNETIC SIMULATION, EDA COMPANIES WORK WITH INSTRUMENT VENDORS TO GET HIGH-PERFORMANCE, HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS TO MARKET

摘要

EDA companies are introducing tools targeting RF/microwave design and simulation, often working to ensure that their software tools play well with instruments. Test-equipment makers in turn frequently cooperate with EDA providers to ensure that engineers will be able to design and characterize these new devices and systems. The efforts of these diverse companies came into focus at the IMS (International Microwave Symposium), which took place June 7 to 12 in Boston.
