MMIC Design Seminar Materials

The art of designing MMICs to satisfy speed to market at the lowest cost can be achieved with a good design methodology and environment. This web page has been designed to provide you with a complete set of technical information material that helps you take advantage of the latest productivity enhancements in the modern high-frequency EDA tools in Agilent EEsof EDA's Advanced Design System (ADS), for fast and accurate MMIC design.

The technical material included in these seminar style materials will help guide you through the critical steps designers need to carry out in order to achieve the fastest time-to-market at the lowest cost. The steps will help you create robust MMIC designs with first-pass success and high yield, while minimizing development and production costs.

Through the use of the video demonstrations, slide presentations, ADS project files, and Hands-On workshop materials included in this front-to-back MMIC design flow seminar, you will learn the important methodology of:

• MMIC Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) for optimizing yield and minimizing cost.
• Efficient and accurate MMIC layout using a judicious combination of auto and manual design synchronization coupled with DRC and full 3D EM verification.
• Co-simulating MMIC circuits within a system to verify compliance with wireless system standards for first-pass acceptance by your end customers.

Note: The MMIC Design Seminar videos, presentations, ADS projects, workshops and more (January 2009) have been compiled on an easy to use DVD for your convenience.
