What is PathWave RFIC Design?

Enhance your methodology for RF simulation by emphasizing the thorough design, scrutiny, and validation of radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs). Ensure confidence in your projects by leveraging steady-state and nonlinear solvers during both the design and verification stages. Utilizing wireless standard libraries significantly accelerates the process of validating complex RFICs. It is vital to verify IC specifications through RF simulation before finalizing an RFIC, as these simulations account for various elements, including layout parasitics, complex modulated signals, and digital control circuitry. With PathWave RFIC Design, you can conduct simulations across both frequency and time domains, allowing for effortless transitions between your designs and Cadence Virtuoso. Achieve precise modeling of components on silicon chips, and refine your designs by employing optimization techniques such as sweeps and load-pull analysis. The integration of RF designs into the Cadence Virtuoso ecosystem is made more efficient, while the application of Monte Carlo and yield analysis can significantly enhance overall performance. Furthermore, debugging is simplified through safe operating area alerts, enabling the quick adoption of state-of-the-art foundry technologies to maintain a competitive edge in innovation. This comprehensive strategy for RFIC design not only boosts efficiency but also significantly enhances the overall quality and dependability of the resultant products, making it a crucial element in modern electronic design. By adopting this approach, engineers can achieve greater precision and reliability in their RFIC projects, ultimately leading to more successful outcomes in various applications.

OrCAD X is offered in both term and perpetual licensing. Term licensing is based on a 12 month period and reduces the upfront product cost while providing access to all services. It includes support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Perpetual licensing has a higher upfront cost, but allows indefinite use of the purchased version. It includes the first year of maintenance which covers support, software updates, and OrCAD X Cloud subscription. Unlike a term license maintenance must be maintained to provide continual access to support, software updates, and access to new product versions.

Additional features and license options will affect the price.
