Keysight Introduces Next-Generation Radio Frequency Circuit Simulator for RFIC Chip Designers
Keysight Introduces Next-Generation Radio Frequency Circuit Simulator for RFIC Chip Designers
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduces RFPro Circuit, a next-generation radio frequency (RF) simulation tool targeting the complex, multi-physics requirements of today's RF integrated circuit (RFIC) designers. Wireless, automotive, and satellite designers can now deliver robust designs that overcome performance challenges in dense 3D packaging, taking advantage of interoperability and automation to form complex workflows.
Keysight's new W5600E RFPro Circuit provides advanced, multi-physics simulation support for today's RFIC designers working in Cadence Virtuoso and Synopsys Custom Compiler.
是德科技的全新 W5600E RFPro 電路爲當今使用 Cadence Virtuoso 和 Synopsys 自定義編譯器的 RFIC 設計人員提供先進的多物理場仿真支持。
Keysight's W5600E RFPro Circuit features a new modular architecture that ensures a consistent, streamlined environment for multi-physics co-design across Cadence, Synopsys, and Keysight electronic design automation (EDA) platforms. Optional electromagnetic (EM) and electro-thermal simulators also plug into this new environment, enabling faster design and troubleshooting of wireless RFICs.
是德科技的 W5600E RFPro 電路採用新的模塊化架構，可確保在 Cadence、新思科技和是德科技電子設計自動化 (EDA) 平台上爲多物理場協同設計提供一致、簡化的環境。可選的電磁 (EM) 和電熱仿真器也可插入這一新環境，從而加快無線 RFIC 的設計和故障排除。
Typically, RFIC designers perform sequential, single-domain verifications using expert tools, but have a difficult time identifying and troubleshooting multi-domain design issues until the end of the design process. Designers are often required to become domain experts, shouldering the overhead of setup and database manipulations for each tool. With the new RFPro Circuit simulator, these tools are more tightly integrated into highly automated and efficient workflows.
通常，RFIC 設計人員使用專家工具進行順序的單域驗證，但在設計過程結束之前，很難識別和排除多域設計問題。設計人員通常需要成爲領域專家，承擔每種工具的設置和數據庫操作開銷。藉助新的RFPro Circuit仿真器，這些工具可以更緊密地集成到高度自動化和高效的工作流程中。
In addition to EM and electro-thermal simulators, Keysight provides RF-aware analyses for stability, system-level modulation and waveforms, and simulator settings. For example, designers can optimize a sophisticated 5G-Advanced power amplifier for error vector magnitude (EVM) while loaded with EM package parasitics. As 3D designs become denser and move into new millimeter wave frequencies, Keysight now offers a path to efficient design flows that are not only robust, but reliable enough to be used for training tomorrow's artificial intelligence and machine learning automation in leading-edge microwave applications.
除了 EM 和電熱仿真器外，Keysight 還爲穩定性、系統級調製和波形以及仿真器設置提供射頻感知分析。例如，設計人員可以在加載電磁封裝寄生效應的同時，針對誤差矢量幅度 (EVM) 優化複雜的 5G-Advanced 功率放大器。隨着三維設計變得越來越密集並進入新的毫米波頻率，是德科技現在提供了一條通向高效設計流程的途徑，這些流程不僅堅固耐用，而且足夠可靠，可用於在前沿微波應用中訓練未來的人工智能和機器學習自動化。

Beyond RFPro Circuit's numerous technical improvements, Keysight offers a flexible licensing model that gives RFIC designers greater simulation freedom and instant access to the latest features, in order to adapt to changing workflows on a daily basis. RFPro Circuit is available for immediate download for the Cadence Virtuoso and Synopsys Custom Compiler environments. Availability for the Keysight ADS environment is expected in late 2024.
除了 RFPro Circuit 的大量技術改進外，是德科技還提供了靈活的許可模式，爲 RFIC 設計人員提供了更大的仿真自由度，並可即時訪問最新功能，從而適應每天不斷變化的工作流程。RFpro 電路可立即下載適用於 Cadence Virtuoso 和 Synopsys 自定義編譯器環境。是德科技ADS環境預計將於2024年底上市。
Joe Civello, Director of RF/uW Products, Keysight EDA, said, "Keysight has a long and successful history providing industry-leading circuit simulation for RFIC and module designers. On top of speed and robustness, we've built RFPro Circuit to be the EDA industry's most designer centric RFIC simulation tool, striving for flexibility, application orientation, and context awareness between multi-physics, high-performance compute, and integration into the major vendor workflows. Designers using RFPro Circuit can accelerate their engineering cycles and shift left more of their verification effort from physical into virtual prototyping where it's easier and less costly to fix problems."
Keysight EDA 射頻/威斯康星大學產品總監 Joe Civello 表示， “是德科技在爲 RFIC 和模塊設計人員提供行業領先的電路仿真方面有着悠久而成功的歷史。除了速度和穩健性之外，我們還將 RFPro Circuit 打造成了 EDA 行業最以設計師爲中心的 RFIC 仿真工具，力求在多物理場、高性能計算和與主要供應商工作流程的集成之間實現靈活性、以應用爲導向和上下文感知。使用RFPro Circuit的設計人員可以加快工程週期，並將更多的驗證工作從物理原型設計轉移到虛擬原型設計中，這樣修復問題更容易，成本更低。”
