Telecom Lead America: Comtech EF Data, a subsidiary of
Comtech Telecommunications, has selected Agilent Technologies’ Advanced
Design System software for use in developing RF and microwave circuits for
high-performance satellite communications systems.
ADS provide a comprehensive suite of simulation and
analysis tools for the high-frequency designer, including parametric tuning and
optimization, and a full set of yield and sensitivity analysis tools.
Comtech’s engineers have a uniquely challenging set of
tasks due to the often-proprietary nature of high-performance satellite
communications systems and the high reliability that is needed for hardware
design. We are delighted that Comtech trusts the capabilities of ADS and has
decided to use it for design work in this particularly demanding market,” said
Joe Civello, ADS product manager for Agilent EEsof EDA.
Comtech will use ADS’ capabilities to ensure its designs
meet the performance and reliability criteria demanded by its customers.
Comtech designs and manufactures an assortment of
satellite communications equipment that is deployed in commercial and
government applications around the world. Satellite communications systems
require leading-edge performance and high reliability.
ADS’s ability to handle linearization design of power
amplifiers that are used in proprietary and next-generation systems will
substantially increase our competitive advantage in the satellite
communications marketplace. This capability, along with the other best-in-class
analysis offerings (like EM analysis) that ADS integrates into one platform,
made ADS the obvious choice for our needs,” said Tibi Artzi, unit manager with
Comtech EF Data.
Agilent Technologies launches new T&M products for
highest-bandwidth signal analysis
Recently, Agilent Technologies launched wideband MIMO PXI
vector signal analyzer for offering the industry’s highest-bandwidth signal
analysis.
Agilent said the new analyzer enables R&D and test
engineers to validate their MIMO 802.11ac designs with a combination of
accuracy, speed, bandwidth and scalability in a small form factor.
