Glen Clark, Cadence Design Systems corporate VP of R&D for custom ICs and PCBs, discusses the acquisition of AWR and the vision for integrating the two companies’ capabilities to improve the design of RF, microwave and mmWave systems.

The R&S IQW100 brings signals from the real world into the laboratory to simulate real world test environments, used in combination with selected midrange R&S signal analyzers and generators.

TE Connectivity (TE), announced the launch of its STRADA Whisper cable receptacles, which allow engineers to start designing for up to 112G PAM-4 data rates in servers, switches, and routers.

Pixus Technologies, now offers a various OpenVPX backplanes utilizing the ultra-rugged KVPX style connector.   This type of connector is often used in the harshest Aerospace applications.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc., announced that the release of the Cadence® digital full flow, with hundreds of completed advanced-node tape outs, has been enhanced to further optimize power, performance and area (PPA) results across a variety of application areas including automotive, mobile, networking, high-performance computing and artificial intelligence (AI).

ACM Research, Inc., introduced the Ultra stress-free polishing (SFP) ap tool for advanced packaging solutions. The Ultra SFP ap is designed to address yield issues arising from through-silicon via (TSV) processes and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP), such as copper overburden post-TSV fill and wafer warpage issues that plague FOWLP processes.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., announced four 2-channel models of the InfiniiVision 1,000 X-Series oscilloscopes with 50 MHz to 200 MHz bandwidth, providing professional-level measurements and capabilities at an affordable price, including a standard decode function for five serial data protocols and remote connection via local area networks (LANs) and USB.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., announced a add-on to PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) that enables designers to perform pre-compliance testing on virtual prototypes of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) designs. This capability saves the time and cost of iterative build and test of physical prototypes.

Demand continues to grow for Silicon Carbide (SiC)-based systems to maximize efficiency and reduce size and weight, allowing engineers to create innovative power solutions. Applications leveraging SiC technology range from electric vehicles and charging stations to smart power grids and industrial and aircraft power systems.

Nokia Bell Labs announced that its researchers have set the world record for the highest single carrier bit rate at 1.52 Terabits per second (Tbit/s) over 80 km of standard single mode fiber – the equivalent of simultaneously streaming 1.5 million YouTube videos – which is four times the market’s current state-of-the-art of approximately 400 Gigabits per second.
