MMIC Design
MMICs are at the core of most high-frequency, high-speed electronic products, performing functions such
as microwave mixing, power ampli cation, low noise ampli cation, and high frequency switching. Many What's New
design steps are required for the development and manufacture of MMICs. Learn more with the MMIC
Design Seminar Materials.

Keysight's Advanced Design System (ADS) EDA software enables designers to solve these di cult
challenges with:

A unique and advanced set of tools to create robust designs with rst pass success and high yield.
Read about this in Microwave Journal.
Complete and continuously updated process design kits (PDKs) from all major MMIC Foundries (see
Related Links).
A complete set of advanced simulation tools, seamlessly integrated into one single environment,
which ows from schematic entry through to production and packaging of the MMIC.
Designing high power RFIC / MMIC components for products such as power ampli er modules,
circuit simulation accuracy is dependent on having accurate device temperatures. This is addressed
with integration of a full Electro-Thermal solution in the ADS ow.
The ability to verify, prior to fabrication, that a MMIC meets all speci cations in its nal package,
using seamlessly integrated Planar EM and 3D-EM tools.
The ability to provide True Circuit veri cation to all wireless standards, prior to and post fabrication,
using a complete set of the most accurate wireless veri cation tools.
