Keysight and WIN collaborate to cut design risk for high-frequency RF components

Source Summary

Keysight Technologies Inc of Santa Rosa, CA, USA and WIN Semiconductors Corp of Taoyuan City, Taiwan — which provides pure-play gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN) wafer foundry services for the wireless, infrastructure and networking markets — have announced a joint monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design workflow that enables GaN MMIC design houses to achieve first-pass tapeout success. The workflow connects on-chip multi-domain simulation, 3D layout with verifications, and off-chip MMIC evaluation board design into a single environment. It supports the growing number of companies developing GaN MMICs for 5G base stations, Wi-Fi access points, satellite payloads, and defense radar systems...
