LTE networks employ many technologies that make it challenging for subsystem and system designers. AWR’s Visual System Simulator makes evaluating LTE subsystem and system easier and more accurate and its library includes all requirements for physical Layer 1 outlined by the 3GPP specification.

AWR Corporation announces that it has added Taiwan to the list of cities scheduled for the July 2012 tour of the AWR Design Forum 2012. The Taiwan event will take place on Thursday, July 12. The call for papers for the Taiwan forum, as well as for those in Japan and Korea, is now open.

AWR Corporation announces today the commercial release and global availability of the AWR 2011 product portfolio, which includes Microwave Office, Visual System Simulator, AXIEM and Analog Office software. The 2011 release offers new functionality and enhanced capabilities that decrease user wait times and increase designer productivity for high-frequency MMIC, MIC, RFIC, RF PCB and modules.

ZTE Corporation and AWR Corporation today announced that ZTE has selected AWR as one of its partners for RF EDA software.

AWR Corporation have signed a global reseller agreement for AWR to sell and support Modelithics’ model libraries. The combined product offerings of Modelithics CLR and COMPLETE (CLR, NLT, NLT, and SLC) libraries alongside AWR’s Microwave Office software gives microwave designers immediate access to high-fidelity parameterized models that better predict real-world behavior when simulated within the AWR design environment.

AWR Corporation announces the continuation of its Graduate Gift Initiative, which provides qualified* Electrical Engineering graduates with a complimentary, fully-functional 1-year term license of its popular Microwave Office and Visual System Simulator (VSS) software suites – inclusive of AXIEM 3D planar EM software.

TDK company EPCOS and Pulse Electronics used AWR’s Microwave Office to design indie, a breakthrough technology that answers the challenge from carriers in the Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) Alliance to develop a single, operator-independent RF platform supporting all NGMN operator frequency bands.

A level of software synergy is essential when designing circuits for use in today’s wireless systems (third- and fourth-generation) that employ higher-order modulation techniques together with advanced technologies, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and digital predistortion (DPD) circuits, to name a few.

AWR Corporation has been issued a US Patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for “automatic creation of vias in electrical circuit design.” Issued on December 27, 2011, patent number 8,086,991 addresses a methodology of creating and detecting crossings of conductive traces on different layers of an integrated circuit or printed circuit board.

AWR Corporation will host a three city seminar tour in India on January 17, 18 and 19, 2012. Along with its partners of National Instruments and ICON Design Automation, the high-frequency design seminar will feature application centric talks and demonstration of AWR’s 2011 software platform, including Microwave Office™ high-frequency circuit design software, AXIEM® 3D planar electromagnetic (EM) analysis software, and Visual Syste...

AWR has released a new white paper entitled “An Electrical-Thermal MMIC Design Flow” that demonstrates, using an actual design example, the effectiveness of co-simulation between AWR’s Microwave Office high-frequency design software and CapeSym’s SYMMIC thermal analysis tool. An X-band RF power amplifier/low-noise amplifier MMIC for a transceiver application was designed in Microwave Office software and thermal coupling and other issues b...
