LE SEGUNDO, CA – With a high-frequency focus, AWR enters its twelfth consecutive year of revenue growth, posting record gains for the 2009 fiscal year that ended March 31. AWR is a privately held company that specializes in high-frequency EDA tools. Detailed financial information has not been made available.
