Tokyo Keiki uses  AWR software to design and manufacture high-power amplifiers for its advanced solid state radar systems. Despite the fact that PA radar design is extremely complex and time-intensive, the company was able to take advantage of the seamless collaborative design offered in Microwave Office® circuit design software and AXIEM® EM simulation software to greatly reduce its design time, effectively in half.

 Altium Limited, a global leader in Smart System Design Automation, 3D PCB design (Altium Designer) and embedded software development (TASKING) has announced that it intends to begin a corporate reorganization to best serve the needs of their customers and partners in key growth markets.

AWR Corp., the innovation leader in high-frequency EDA software, released NI AWR Design Environment™ V11, its first major software release in 2014, which includes new features, enhancements, and user interface changes to Microwave Office® / Analog Office® circuit design software.

AWR Corp., the innovation leader in high-frequency EDA software, will sponsor the upcoming Microwave Journal magazine technical education webinar, Practical Antenna Design for Advanced Wireless Products. The webinar will be presented by Henry Lau, CEO of Lexiwave Technology, a solution provider specializing in RF system and RFIC design for communication and consumer products.

Remcom will preview several new XFdtd features for the Magnetic Resonance community at the ISMRM symposium (May 10-16, Milan, Italy). 

Delcross Technologies announced the Version 4.0 release of its Savant™ software for modeling the installed performance of antennas on electrically large vehicles. Among the many new features in this release are multi-bounce edge-diffraction rays that improve accuracy by modeling antenna interactions with shadowed portions of the platform, an integrated workflow with CST STUDIO SUITE® 2014 for importing full-wave antenna models for hybrid simulation, a new Scene Tree capability to enable articulated geometry assemblies and a new feature for generating parametric CAD models and platform parts.

Cover Sistemi, an Italian electronics developer, used AWR software to design an ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver from concept to final production in a single pass. Specifications were for a complete design starting from the antenna through to the entire RF/baseband analog chain down to the AD converter.

National Instruments announced an integrated software defined radio solution for rapidly prototyping high-performance, multichannel wireless communication systems. The NI USRP RIO platform is built on the NI LabVIEW RIO architecture and combines a high-performance 2 x 2 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) RF transceiver capable of transmitting and receiving signals from 50 MHz to 6 GHz with an open LabVIEW programmable FPGA architecture.

Modelithics Inc., the industry leader in simulation models for RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave devices, announces the release of The Modelithics COMPLETE Library V11 for Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS). The Modelithics COMPLETE Library offers the industry’s most comprehensive collection of advanced and highly scalable simulation models for passive components and non-linear models for active devices such as diodes, transistors, amplifiers and more. They are engineered to provide extensive design flexibility and reliably accurate design simulation results. 

Ultra low power (ULP) RF specialist Nordic Semiconductor ASA announces S110 SoftDevice v7.0, the next major release of its Bluetooth® low energy stack, for the nRF51822 Bluetooth low energy and 2.4GHz proprietary System-on-Chip (SoC) and the nRF51422 ANT™ and ANT/Bluetooth low energy multiprotocol SoCs.
