High-frequency EDA software to assist design of next generation communications equipment

Design Automation

8 February 2006 Design Automation

High-frequency EDA tools provider, Applied Wave Research, has announced that in a recent competitive tool evaluation, Andrew Corporation selected AWR's Microwave Office and visual system simulator (VSS) products. Andrew designs multicarrier radio-frequency (RF) power amplifiers for communications equipment, services, and systems used in: wireless and distributed communications, land mobile radio, cellular and personal communications, broadcast, radar, and navigation.

"We chose AWR's Microwave Office and VSS design suites because the ease of use and customer support improves our ability to provide timely designs," said Joe Lipowski, VP of Research, Base Station Subsystems Group, Andrew. "Andrew offers the industry's largest portfolio of single- and multicarrier linear power amplifiers for use in cellular, PCS, CDMA, WCDMA, and 3G systems. We expect AWR design tools to play a critical role in helping us provide very cost-competitive end products, while at the same time maintaining our stringent system-level performance criteria."

"We are excited that the advanced design technologies in our software coupled with the user-friendly, integrated environment meet Andrew's exacting needs for the design of its next-generation power amplifiers," said Ted Miracco, executive vice president of AWR. "In addition, our support team is looking forward to working with Andrew's designers to help them maximise their investment in our products and services."
