Product Feature: Open RFIC Design Platform Provides Interconnect-Driven Design Paradigm

In today's complex analog and radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs), high-frequency circuit impairments – such as compression, noise, distortion, and phase noise – as well as the physical parasitics like interconnect impedance and coupling are making it necessary to obtain complete "RF closure" between the RFIC's system and circuit, electrical and physical, and design and test activities before committing to costly IC implementation.
