Keysight RF & Microwave Circuit Design 2024 Release Overview

Courses
10 items

Sending massive data via 5G or 6G wireless links requires operating frequencies up to mmWave and sub-THz 250 GHz. The design of circuits and modules for handling high data throughput at these frequencies involves the tight integration of multiple technologies, e.g., Si, III-V, packaging, antennas, and PCB. This high data throughput needs new RF and Microwave design workflows, requiring the heterogeneous integration of multiple software tools to design these multi-technology products.

Learn:

How faster EM solvers and streamlined, interoperable workflows accelerate complex module designs that integrate multiple technologies
How accelerated electro-thermal modeling and other new technologies reduce design risks and catch performance issues early
How expanded Python automation is not only transforming multi-technology workflows but also accelerating productivity for common design tasks, including new applications for PA designers
