Fully Characterize Transceivers Before Tape-Out

Go beyond traditional RF simulation to design, analyze, and verify radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs). Achieve confidence with steady-state and nonlinear solvers for design and verification. Wireless standard libraries accelerate the validation of complex RFICs.

  • accurately model components on silicon chips
  • optimize designs with sweeps and load-pull analysis
  • simulate RF designs in the Cadence Virtuoso and Synopsys Custom Compiler environments
  • increase performance using Monte Carlo and yield analysis
  • assess EVM for the latest communication standards early in the design phase
  • utilize the latest foundry technology immediately
PathWave RFIC Design Composite

Optimize ICs from RF to mmWave

Early in the RFIC design phase, monitoring system IC specifications such as EVM via RF simulation is a must. Simulations include effects of layout parasitics, complex modulated signals, and digital control circuitry. With RFIC Design, you can simulate in both the frequency and time domain and bring your designs to and from Cadence Virtuoso and Synopsys Custom Compiler.
