White Paper: RF Design Methodology And Flow

This article describes the wireless RFIC reference flow as part of the Cadence RF Design Methodology Kit. Cadence Kits address application-specific design issues by combining a verified methodology packaged in platform flows, with enabling and standards-based IP—all applied to a market representative reference design. The AMS and RF Kits target full custom designs across the diverse design domains of analog, custom digital, and RF. The Kits also integrate IP from these diverse domains, including importing digital standard cell blocks with an integration strategy and methodology.
