Applied Wave Research (AWR) and Helic S.A. (HelicR) have announced a technology licensing agreement that enables the integration of Helic's VeloceRFT whole-chip radio frequency (RF) extraction, modeling, and verification technology into AWR's Analog OfficeR RF integrated circuit (IC) design suite. The companies also announced a marketing agreement enabling AWR to market the solution through its worldwide distribution channels.
Dr. Yorgos Koutsoyannopoulos, CEO of Helic, said, "We are pleased to work with AWR on this integrated solution. With this new partnership we expand our customer base and address a new market segment. VeloceRF technology offers unprecedented speed and scalability in the extraction of very complex passive devices on silicon and advanced packaging substrates. When utilized within the AWR single platform, the design of inductor-heavy chips and systems-in-package becomes a systematic design process instead of an exotic art."
Joe Pekarek, CTO of AWR, stated, "The integration of Helic's extraction and modeling tool technology into the Analog Office product through AWR's unified design environment provides designers with full access to all the superior features and capabilities of the VeloceRF technology. Our collaboration with Helic is another step in AWR's long-term commitment to provide easy integration with best-in-class tools through the AWR open platform, delivering unmatched performance, higher quality designs, and significantly increased productivity."
