Agilent Technologies' GoldenGate Software Selected by RF Integration for Advanced RFIC Development

RF Integration develops customized RF solutions that dramatically improve RF performance, power consumption, cost and size. The simulation accuracy, capacity and performance benefits offered by GoldenGate are critical to supporting RF Integration's development of high-performance, customized RF Systems-on-a-Chip.

As a leader in customized RF solutions, we recognize that our customers in the defense, industrial and consumer markets expect and demand timely delivery of leading edge products, said Ray Moroney, vice president of Development Operations at RF Integration. Our business depends on our use of best-in-class, cost-effective tools, to cut our simulation times and improve accuracy. We specifically selected Agilent's GoldenGate software because of its accuracy, versatility, speed, capacity, proven performance and cost effectiveness. In benchmarking exercises, it allowed us to cut as much as 50 percent off the simulation times of full receiver and transmitter chains.

RF Integration's ability to deliver leading-edge customized RF solutions to their end customers is critical to their business and pushes the envelope on simulation requirements, said Paul Colestock, RFIC product manager, with Agilent's EEsof EDA organization. RF Integration's full transmitter and receiver chains simulation results tell a compelling story. We are pleased that they selected GoldenGate for the design of their high-performance RF products.
