AWR Corporation, the innovation leader in high-frequency EDA, and Modelithics, Inc., a premier provider of precision measurements and models for RF and microwave design simulation, recently announced that a one-click option enabled on the AWR Web site for trial evaluation requests for AWR's Microwave Office software now also includes Modelithics' highly accurate active and passive model libraries.

This cooperative partnering gives microwave designers the opportunity to use Modelithics' active and passive simulation models on a trial basis and see how they can impact their designs from within AWR's Microwave Office design environment. The Modelithics libraries are available for a growing number of components and ICs from various manufacturers, ranging from passive components to non-linear diode and transistor models, and shortly, system-level components.

"Coordinating trials for our customers just makes sense as the evaluation process becomes easier and faster for the customer," said Sherry Hess, vice-president of marketing at AWR.

"Our model libraries are a great complement to AWR's software as they help designers generate even more accurate circuits," said Dr. Larry Dunleavy, CEO of Modelithics. "Designers evaluate our complete offering during the trial, and if budgets are tight, pursue our flexible purchase or lease arrangement in order to access only the models needed for the next design and then expand later on."

About Modelithics, Inc.
Modelithics, Inc. was founded in 2001 to address the need for highly accurate RF and microwave active and passive simulation models for use in Electronic Design Automation (EDA). Current software products include the CLR Library, which contains measurement-based Global Models for many commercially-available passive components, the NLD Library (non-linear diode models), the SLC Library (system-level component models), the NLT Library (non-linear transistor models), and most recently VersiCal, a program that enables accurate broadband in-fixture VNA calibration with lumped standards. Modelithics' services also address a wide range of custom RF and microwave measurement and modeling needs. For more information visit www.modelithics.com
