Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced an EDA signal integrity circuit simulator for multigigabit, high-speed data link design. The Transient-Convolution Simulator -- part of Agilent’s Advanced Design System (ADS) EDA software platform -- achieves a three-fold simulation speed improvement for signal integrity simulations. The Transient-Convolution Simulator combines the ADS High Frequency...

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that Toshiba Semiconductor Co. has selected Agilent’s GoldenGate EDA software for its RFIC design and evaluation. Accurate post-layout simulation and evaluation of an entire transceiver, including parasitics, is very difficult to perform with today’s widely used time-domain simulation tools. Early evaluation is increasingly important, however,...

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced a new software feature for handheld wireless measurements on its E6474A network optimization platform that turns a standard WiMAX PC Card (CPE) into the industry’s smallest WiMAX scanning solution for Drive Test. This new mode of operation gives network equipment manufacturers and wireless operators’ RF...

Electromagnetic (EM) simulation provides accuracy at the expense of speed. In situations where accuracy is crucial and the problem size large, such as compacting an RFIC or complex RF board onto a small area to meet cost and size requirements, simulation times can be unbearably long. When each simulation...

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the release of the latest version of the Agilent Virtual Rack platform.

Given the increasing pressure on engineers to speed the R&D process, maximize manufacturing throughput and reduce cost, the need for flexible, highly integrated test and measurement solutions has now been thrust firmly into the spotlight. For engineers developing and manufacturing RF and microwave frequency components, particularly amplifiers, mixers and...

Agilent Technologies Inc. and Freescale Semiconductor announced results from a collaborative effort to expedite the development of ZigBee solutions. Agilent has enhanced the user-friendliness of its N4010A Wireless Connectivity Test Set, while Freescale has successfully streamlined the development and qualification of its newest ZigBee chipsets. ZigBee is a global...

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that it has completed the divestiture of its semiconductor products business to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR) and Silver Lake Partners for $2.66 B, subject to various closing-related adjustments. The divestiture is one in a series of actions Agilent announced on August 15, 2005,...
