TriQuint Deploys AWR EDA Software in Design Centers; Microwave Office and VSS Design Suites To Be Used for Continuous Design Process Improvement in MMIC Products.EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Applied Wave Research, Inc. (AWR AWR Automatic Workload Repository (Oracle database) AWR Applied Wave Research (El Segundo, CA) AWR Adventist World Radio AWR Advanced Warranty Replacement AWR American Warmblood Registry (R)), a leading provider of high-frequency electronic design automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) tools, today announced an agreement with TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq:TQNT) to add AWR's Microwave Office(R) and Visual System Simulator(TM) (VSS) software to the company's EDA tool set used in the Hillsboro, Oregon and Nashua, New Hampshire Nashua is a city in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA. As of the 2000 census, Nashua had a total population of 86,605[1], making it the second largest city in the state after Manchester. As of 2005, the population is estimated to be 87,986. design centers. The design suites will be used as part of TriQuint's ongoing efforts to improve the development of its components, which are used in a wide array of advanced communications applications throughout the world. TriQuint, a recognized world leader in gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit MMICs, or Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits, are a type of integrated circuit (IC) devices that operate at microwave frequencies (1 GHz to 300 GHz). They typically perform functions such as microwave mixing, power amplification, low noise amplification, and high (MMIC (Monolithic Microwave IC) An integrated circuit used in high-frequency applications such as mobile phones. Also known as "monolithic microwave/millimeter-wave IC," MMICs combine transistors and passive devices (resistors, capacitors, etc. ) technology, offers an unparalleled selection of radio-frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits (ICs) and modules used in mobile phones and base station infrastructure, and GaAs IC foundry services covering frequencies through 80 GHz. "TriQuint is committed to a philosophy of continuous improvement in our products, in our processes, and in our design tools," said Paul Litzenberg, engineering manager at TriQuint. "AWR's products have proven to be a welcome part of our design approach to delivering cutting-edge products, in a timely fashion, to our customers. The seamless integration of Microwave Office and VSS software in one platform gives us the ability to simulate and lay out our power amplifier designs. We can use traditional microwave techniques, and then co-simulate with actual, complex system signals to look at adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR ACPR Adjacent Channel Power Ratio ACPR Ariel Center for Policy Research (Israel) ACPR Adjacent-Channel Power Rejection ACPR Adjacent Channel Protection Ratio ACPR American Crossbred Pony Registry ACPR Advanced Core Performance Reactor ) and error vector magnitude The error vector magnitude or EVM is a measure used to quantify the performance of a digital radio transmitter or receiver. A signal sent by an ideal transmitter or received by a receiver would have all constellation points precisely at the ideal locations, however various (EVM)." "TriQuint is one of the premier global providers of RF/microwave components and foundry services, and AWR looks forward to the continuation and expansion of our long-standing relationship," said AWR president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , James Spoto. "We are pleased that the unique and comprehensive AWR Design Environment(TM) with its unified data model architecture meets TriQuint's design challenges and will help improve the design of TriQuint's MMIC products."
