Computer Simulation Technology AG (CST) announced True Geometry Adaptation at EuMW 2008. This represents a breakthrough in high frequency tetrahedral frequency domain solver mesh adaptation schemes. This innovation will be available with version 2009 of the electromagnetic simulation software CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (CST MWS). Users of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®...

Bridging Gaps — the theme for European Microwave Week 2008 — commemorated the integration of four focused conferences (EuMC, EuMIC, EuWiT and EuRAD) and the microwave industry exhibition while paying homage to this year’s host city, Amsterdam with its network of canals and bridges. The entire event was organized...

AWR , a leader in high-frequency electronic design automation (EDA), announced that its Finnish R&D facility will conduct research within the European Integrated Circuit/Electromagnetic Simulation and design Technologies for Advanced Radio Systems-on-chip (ICESTARS) project. ICESTARS strives to enable the development of low-cost wireless chips that can operate at frequencies...

2009 will see the introduction of a new class of wireless communications chip that features dual-mode support for both WiMAX and LTE, according to ABI Research. The thrust of demand for such chips comes from those wireless device makers seeking to reduce the number of their SKUs; they will...
