Feature: Cadence Virtuoso and AXIEM

Watch an RF demo showing the extraction of an inductor from layout and the impact on circuit simulation of a VCO. The Cadence® Virtuoso® RF Solution improves design cycle productivity, reducing errors in manufacturing and accounting for the electrical and physical effects within a single environment across IC, package, and board design. Its bidirectional interface integrates with the Cadence SiP-level implementation environment, Sigrity™ PowerSI® 3DEM Extraction Option finite element engine, and AWR Design Environment platform’s AXIEM 3D planar EM software to automate hours of manual work in RFIC and RF Module designs.

Good stuff. Glad to see Axiem well integrated into Cadence. Silicon RF IC guys will love it!!

That is cool indeed but just to clarify regardless of its name -- Virtuoso RF (multi-technology platform) can do just as easily photonic circuit co-simulation with Lumerical's INTERCONNECT simulator :), so yay for Virtuoso RF/MTT cross-discipline, non-EM applications too!
