RFIC Design (GoldenGate) Product Structure
GoldenGate Product Configuration
The GoldenGate product structure is simple and easy to configure and has fewer elements that include more application-focused value.
GoldenGate solutions enable you to:
- Simulate RF designs without leaving the Cadence Virtuoso environment
- Assess seamlessly key figures of merits like EVM, BER with the same accuracy as Keysight instruments with Virtual Test Benches (VTB)
- Accurately model components on silicon chips
- Optimize designs with sweeps and load-pull analysis
- Increase performance using Monte Carlo and yield analysis
- In combination with RFPro, evaluate the coupling and interconnections quality on and off-chip with the circuit working in its real non-linear behavior
Applications include Silicon RFIC Design and RF-to-mmWave Design.
