TriQuint Deploys AWR EDA Software in Design Centers
Applied Wave Research, Inc. (AWR®) announced an agreement with TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. to add AWR's Microwave Office® and Visual System SimulatorT (VSS) software to the company's EDA tool set used in the Hillsboro, Oregon and Nashua, New Hampshire design centers. The design suites will be used as part of TriQuint's ongoing efforts to improve the development of its components, which are used in a wide array of advanced communications applications throughout the world.
TriQuint, a recognized world leader in gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology, offers an unparalleled selection of radio-frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits (ICs) and modules used in mobile phones and base station infrastructure, and GaAs IC foundry services covering frequencies through 80 GHz.
"TriQuint is committed to a philosophy of continuous improvement in our products, in our processes, and in our design tools," said Paul Litzenberg, engineering manager at TriQuint. "AWR's products have proven to be a welcome part of our design approach to delivering cutting-edge products, in a timely fashion, to our customers. The seamless integration of Microwave Office and VSS software in one platform gives us the ability to simulate and lay out our power amplifier designs. We can use traditional microwave techniques, and then co-simulate with actual, complex system signals to look at adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) and error vector magnitude (EVM)."
"TriQuint is one of the premier global providers of RF/microwave components and foundry services, and AWR looks forward to the continuation and expansion of our long-standing relationship," said AWR president and CEO, James Spoto. "We are pleased that the unique and comprehensive AWR Design EnvironmentT with its unified data model architecture meets TriQuint's design challenges and will help improve the design of TriQuint's MMIC products."
TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. is a supplier of high-performance components and modules for communications applications. Their markets include wireless phones, base stations, optical networks, and broadband and microwave with a specific focus on RF, analog, and mixed signal applications.
