RF-PCB solution cuts design time by half

A tightly integrated RF-PCB solution enables PCB mixed-signal designers (RF, analog, and digital) to concurrently design a PCB using Mentor’s Expedition Enterprise or Board Station XE flows and seamlessly integrate it with Agilent’s Advanced Design System (ADS) EDA software for RF design and simulation. The solution is expected to cut PCB design cycle times in half and improve the quality of mixed-technology designs.

Agilent’s ADS offers complete design integration to designers of products such as cellular and portable phones, pagers, wireless networks, radar and satellite communications systems, and high-speed digital serial links. Mentor Graphics’ Expedition Enterprise and Board Station XE design flows provide users with PCB systems design technologies. (As an option to Mentor’s Expedition Enterprise and Board Station XE flows, from $9,000; Agilent’s Advanced Design System, from $9,000—available now.)
