AWR Design Forum expands to China

AWR Corp of El Segundo, CA, USA, a supplier of electronic design automation (EDA) software for designing RF and high-frequency components and systems, has expanded its AWR Design Forum (ADF) 2012 Asia Pacific tour to include two stops in China: Xi’an on 25 September and Chengdu on 27 September. The call for papers for both is now open.

ADF is an open event at which designers of microwave and RF circuits and systems - such as monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), RF printed circuit board (RF PCB) and LTE communication systems - can network and share useful information and resources pertinent to high-frequency design, discuss AWR products and technologies, and collaborate on industry issues and trends.

Proposed agenda topics, given by AWR as well as partner firms, include:

• Optimizing the Design and Verification of 4G RF Power Amplifiers;
• Design of a Novel Multi-Slot Antenna;
• Simulating an NXP Doherty Power Amplifier with Digital Pre-Distortion;
• Electrical/Thermal Coupled Solutions for Flip Chip Designs;
• Design and Simulation of Modern Radar Systems;
• Fully Integrating 3D Electromagnetic (EM) Simulation into Circuit Simulation;
• System Simulation Featuring Signal Processing Blocks;
• RF Link Prediction - A New and Novel Approach;
• Linking RF Design Through to Test;
• RF: Moving Beyond a Linear Datasheet;
• MMIC Design in AWR 2011; and
• The AWR Design Flow Advantage - Introduction to New Features and Capabilities.

The AWR Design Forum also provides an opportunity for the presentation of papers from customers and partners working in the microwave & RF industry, as well as from research and educational institutions.

Participants interested in presenting should submit an abstract to adf2012@awrcorp.com by 17 August. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, RFIC and MMIC design, EM analysis of planar components and 3D passive interconnect, and LTE communications system and radar applications, as well as microwave components, RF and microwave circuit boards, and RF SoCs, SiPs, and module design.

Prizes will be awarded for best paper/presentation at each location. Additionally, all presentations will be made available for download from the AWR website after the event.
