Jonathan Hammond, Staff Design Engineer for MEMS Technology Development at RFMD, is using the tools in a project to develop an improved RF MEMS switch for cell phone RF front-ends. This is especially true with products incorporating RF MEMS, because analog design is tricky in itself, and what is RF MEMS but high-speed analog with the added burden of integrated mechanical parts used as filters, switches, varactors and other components.” It’s hard to get the system designed correctly that way, and if you have to actually build it to see if it works, it’s slow to market, too. “This contrasts with the traditional approach, where mechanical, electrical and other specialists complete their portion of a design and hand it off to the next person. Josephus van Kuijk, Coventor’s Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “For complex subsystems such as RF MEMS, ease of design within multiple physical domains has become essential, and the goal now is fast, accurate virtual prototyping of the system,” said Dr. That’s because 3D visualization is the most intuitive and fastest way to achieve greater functionality, smaller size and faster time-to-market for cell phones, PDAs and other products that integrate digital, analog and RF circuitry with mechanical parts. CARY, NC - Designers of RF (radio-frequency) MEMS subsystems and other complex products need a 3D visualization capability that realistically models the behavior of the disparate technologies incorporated in their designs, says Coventor, Inc., the leading developer of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) design-automation software. ![]()
