AWR Design Forum Welcomes Taiwan to 2012 Schedule – Set for Thursday July 12, 2012

ADF 2012 is an open event for designers of microwave and RF circuits and systems such as MMIC, RFIC, RF PCB, modules, and communication systems to come together to learn about AWR’s latest products and technologies and how they can help solve today’s and tomorrow’s design problems. It also provides an excellent opportunity to network and collaborate on industry issues and trends.



Agenda topics presented by AWR and partner firms National Instruments, WIN Semiconductor and Zuken, may include:



•Optimizing the Design and Verification of 4G RF Power Amplifiers

•Design of a Novel Multi-Slot Antenna Featuring EM Parameterization and Optimization Techniques

•Simulating an NXP Doherty Power Amplifier with Digital Pre-Distortion

•Electrical/Thermal Coupled Solutions for Flip Chip Designs

•Design and Simulation of Modern Radar Systems

•Fully Integrating 3D Electromagnetic Simulation into Circuit Simulation

•System Simulation Featuring Signal Processing Blocks

•RF Link Prediction - A New and Novel Approach

•Linking RF Design thru to Test

•RF Moving Beyond a Linear Datasheet

•MMIC Design in AWR 2011

•The AWR Design Flow Advantage - Introduction to New Features and Capabilities



The AWR Design Forum also provides an opportunity for the presentation of interesting and informative papers from customers and partners working in the microwave & RF industry, as well as from research and educational institutions. Final presentations are due by June 30, 2012.



Suggested topics include but are not limited to RFIC and MMIC design, EM analysis of planar components and 3D passive interconnect, and LTE communication system and radar applications, as well as microwave components, RF and microwave circuit boards, and RF SoCs, SiPs, and module design. All presentations will be made available for download from the AWR web site after the event concludes. Additionally, prizes will be awarded for best paper/presentation per location.
