RF Design
To support increasing functionality, PCBs employ more complex board structures designed for a range of specialized applications. Offering a layout-driven design methodology for complex RF PCBs, Cadence supports accurate modeling of PCB transmission media from the RF signal path to digital control and DC bias lines. Circuit/system and EM co-simulation provide first-pass design success with complete PCB analysis of surface-mount components, interconnecting transmission lines, and embedded and distributed passive elements, as well as EM verification.
RF/Microwave Circuit Design
Cadence Microwave Office circuit design software is used by leading manufacturers to develop high-frequency electronics. RF-aware layout, high-frequency models, and a powerful harmonic balance (HB) simulator ensure accurate and fast simulation results for first-pass success. The intuitive interface, innovative design automation, and design-assist features promote optimum engineering productivity and accelerate the development of RF/microwave IP across monolithic microwave IC (MMIC), RF PCB, and module technologies as standalone components or integrated within complex multi-technology systems.
