Abstract :
In a competitive RFIC market, it is of prime importance to be able to reduce both cost and time to market. The EDA tools are a key actor in the success of the product life. In this context, behavioral modeling techniques can have some benefits, in particular, during intensive simulations like Monte-Carlo analysis.
