EuMW 2016: Collaboration accelerates RF system design
MACOM Technology Solutions’ RF components are now available for use with X-Microwave’s online simulation and prototyping platform, it was announced at European Microwave Week in London. Pre-configured with high-performance MACOM MMICs, these drop-in and cascadable components called “X-MWblocks” enable designers to quickly and easily architect modular, end-to-end RF systems.
MACOM’s support for the X-Microwave platform enables designers to take advantage of MACOM’s MMIC performance and quality, with the added ability to seamlessly interconnect hundreds of compatible, pre-characterised X-MWblock components with solderless building block flexibility.
This reduces evaluation and design complexity and enables designers to accelerate their time to market.
With this collaboration, X-Microwave users can now take advantage of a broad selection of MACOM MMICs, spanning amplifiers, mixers, frequency multipliers, octave band VCOs, RF switches, voltage variable attenuators and phase shifters.
