EDA/CAD Tools

- Integrated Circuit and System Design

For design and verification we have a broad suite of circuit and system design tools and a well-equipped measurement lab.

EDA/CAD tools that we use are:

  • System simulations: Agilent ADS, Matlab, Simulink, Coware SPW 
  • Digital ASIC design: Mentor Graphics, Synopsys, Cadence
  • Mixed signal design: Agilent ADS, Cadence
  • Microwave simulations:  Agilent ADS and Momentum, Ansoft HFSS
  • RFIC design:  Cadence RF Spectre

The measurement equipment we have gives us the possibility to characterize antennas, components and circuits up to 50 GHz, as well as mixed signal and digital circuits. Examples of in-house instruments are:

RF/Microwave

  • Spectrum analyzer  HP 4407B 26GHz (3GHz tracking gen.)
  • Network analyzer  HP8510C 50GHz incl. Karl Suss PM5 probe station
  • NF meter N8974A, 10 MHz-6.7 GHz
  • Synth. signal generator  8665B, 0-6 GHz

Antennas

  • Shielded anechoic chamber EMP tronic >70dB (>1GHz) incl. antenna characterisation system

Mixed signal

  • Logic Analys/Pattern gen. 16702B, 16750A, 16720A
  • Oscilloscope  1,5GHz LeCroy 
  • Pulse Generator  165MHz 2ns/10ps 
  • Oscilloscope  300MHz/4Chan TDS3034

Component

  • Semicond Par Analyzer  HP4155B
  • LCR-meter  30MHz HP4285A

We are currently building up a measurement and simulation system for liniarization of power amplifiers in mobile terminals.
