Abstract

In modern wireless communication and microwave design, the complexity of whole system is increasing. It´s difficult to develop a complex system without suitable tools. In order to shorten time to market and turn-around time, the role of electrical design automation (EDA) software is becoming more and more important. In this paper, some recent activities of Taiwan companies using Agilent EEsof EDA solutions are presented. TSMC developed 60GHz Reference Design Kit on CMOS 65nm process using Agilent Momentum & GoldenGate. Quanta Computer developed and verified WiMAX SiP module using ADS and EMPro. Cyntec also developed component libraries for ADS and verified how significant the process variation affects components´ performances.
