GHENT, BELGIUM – Ucamco introduces Integr8tor v.4.1.2. The latest version of the automatic data input and analysis tool is reported to increase front-end throughput by up to 30%. Job parameters are provided for fast and accurate quotations, allowing higher throughput through the front-end tooling process. Integr8tor can run in a UCAM or Frontline Genesis environment.
SANTA CLARA, CA – Agilent Technologies Inc. introduces Advanced Design System (ADS) 2009 Update 1, the industry’s first complete front-to-back solution for MMIC and RF module design. The release integrates wireless standards-based design verification libraries, 3D EM analysis, X-Parameter simulation and statistical design and yield optimization. Designers can stay within the design and simulation platform of choice for the entire design cycle, eliminating the need for separate, time-consuming point tools. Features include an X-Parameter simulation model generator, delivering fast, drop-in useable and accurate nonlinear behavioral models; integrated planar and 3D EM simulation and analysis, allowing designers to account for EM effects from packages and interconnects without import/export of data or models; and an MMIC layout personality, allowing one-click access to MMIC layout functions. In addition, designers can interactively modify settings in real time using the Optimization Cockpit.
