RFIC Design
Ansoft's powerful EDA design tools deliver high-performance and high-accuracy to RF integrated circuit design (RFIC) design. Our best-in-class technology for circuit and electromagnetic field simulation complements established monolithic IC design flows allowing designers to simulate sensitive analog circuits while including layout and the electromagnetic effects stemming from the electronic package. Electromagnetic simulation using HFSS™ provides accurate modeling of on-chip passives, layout, package parasitics, and substrate coupling. The Nexxim® circuit simulator links directly into the Cadence design environment and adds high-performance transient and harmonic balance simulation. Harmonic balance, including the capacity to handle today's larger designs, allows the engineer to predict non-linear performance of circuits including gain compression, IP3, inter-modulation, mixer spurious, phase noise, and sensitivity. Transient simulation plus Harmonic Balance in a singular simulator allows circuit validation in time- and frequency-domain under real world communications waveforms ensuring first-pass system success.Featured Products Nexxim®
Nexxim® is an advanced, frequency- and time-domain circuit simulator for engineers designing the next generation of high- performance DigitalRF CMOS ICs, GaAs/SiGe RFICs, SIP/SOC packages, power delivery systems and gigabit computer and communication backplanes. Dynamic, parameterized co-simulation with HFSS™ and Ansoft Designer® enables Nexxim to combine transistor-level detail for complex and highly nonlinear circuits with full-wave S-parameter models of the interconnect to provide the most accurate simulation capability for signal-integrity analysis and RF design. Ansoft Designer®
Ansoft Designer® provides an integrated schematic and design management front-end for complex analog, RF and mixed-signal applications. By leveraging advanced electromagnetic field simulators dynamically linked to powerful circuit and system simulation, Ansoft Designer enables engineers to design, optimize, and validate component, circuit, and system performance long before building a prototype in hardware. HFSS™
HFSS™ is the industry-standard software for S-parameter, Full-Wave SPICE™ extraction, and 3D electromagnetic field simulation of high-frequency and high-speed components. Engineers rely on the accuracy, capacity, and performance of HFSS to design on-chip embedded passives, IC packages, PCB interconnects, antennas, RF/microwave components, and biomedical devices. |
