[April 09, 2013] Plextek RF Integration selects simulation software from Agilent Technologies Tweet Apr 09, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced that Plextek RF Integration, a UK based company that designs and develops RFICs, MMICs and microwave/millimeter-wave modules, has selected Agilent software to simulate its new high-frequency circuit and MMIC designs. After a thorough evaluation of available 3-D planar electromagnetic software tools, Plextek RF Integration chose Agilent's Momentum simulator for its performance and flexibility. Accurate EM simulation enables designers to improve the performance of their designs, while increasing confidence that the manufactured product will meet specifications. Momentum is integrated with Agilent's Advanced Design System and Genesys RF and microwave design software. In its evaluation, Plextek RFI used Momentum to simulate the performance of a 57- to 64-GHz amplifier IC. The company also used Momentum to develop a number of Ka-band ICs. Liam Devlin, CEO at Plextek RFI, said: "Designing advanced, high-frequency circuits and MMICs requires access to the industry's most advanced modeling and simulation tools. The performance and flexible features of Agilent's Momentum software provides us the functionality we need to maintain a leading edge in the highly competitive wireless, microwave and millimeter-wave markets in which we compete. Because of this, we plan to leverage this solution on future design projects, including our current development of an LNA covering the full 71- to 86-GHz range of E-band." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
