PathWave EM Design

The Cadence AWR Design Environment Platform accelerates RF/microwave product development cycles with design automation that enhances engineering productivity and reduces turnaround time. This seamlessly integrated platform empowers engineers with advanced high-frequency circuit and system simulation coupled with in-design electromagnetic (EM)/thermal analyses for manufacturing-ready high-frequency IP, offering unmatched efficiency and precision. Designed to enhance engineering productivity, the user interface is powerful and intuitive. It offers smart, customizable design flows that cater to the specific needs of today's high-frequency semiconductor and PCB technologies. A unified design capture system facilitates a front-to-back physical design flow. Electrical and layout design entries are dynamically linked, ensuring that components placed in an electrical schematic automatically generate a synchronized physical layout.

Analyze RF and microwave circuits and systems with fast simulation and powerful optimization tools. Explore performance trade-offs with automatic circuit synthesis technology. PathWave RF Synthesis (Genesys) provides entry-level functionality suitable for all RF and microwave circuit board and subsystem designers. Identify RF design errors missed by traditional spreadsheet calculations with PathWave Circuit Design. With this entry-level design environment — including circuit, system, and electromagnetic simulators — you will gain confidence in your design reviews before hardware realization. Just a few mouse clicks and you can watch as your matching network is synthesized and optimized automatically. Then, transfer the design to PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) for inclusion into a more complex design.
