Product Tips and Tricks -  to help you get the most out of our software.
RFIC Designers: Boost Productivity with Parallel Simulations

GoldenGate (4.1.8) includes the industry's first capability for multiple, parallel circuit simulations (Quad-Pack) from a single license. No more downtime while running simulations. With GoldenGate's Quad-Pack, you can verify designs across process, voltage and temperature variations via an efficient, parallel Monte Carlo capability that allows up to four simultaneous simulations, freeing up the design portion of the license for other design work. Find out more.

More Software Defined Radio Design Resources

This month we have two articles on SDR Designs for your reference. The first article describes, using examples, the use of electronic system level (ESL) design tools to develop an SDR, from block diagram concept to a finished hardware and software design.

SDR: What Every Engineer Should Know is a collection of opinions from folks who are very active in this new market. Another great resource is the Agilent SDR webpage.

Industry Experts Tackle Design Problems Using Agilent EDA Tools

Ian Rippke, RFIC design expert, presented a webcast on "Designing for Yield in Advanced RFICs" highlighting GoldenGate. View the archived version of this webcast.

Lance Lascari, an expert RF/uW design engineer, hosted a webcast where he revealed some of the secrets he uses to be successful including his use of Genesys and Momentum GX. View an archived version of this valuable webcast.
