MICROWAVE OFFICE®
Microwave Office For Signal Integrity Design
AWR signal integrity (SI) solution incorporates key elements of our flagship Microwave Office design suite along side Synopsys' world class HSPICE® spice simulator in order to provide engineers with the tools they need to meet the demanding and challenging needs of today's high-data-rate designs.
With speeds increasing from hundreds of megabits per second to gigabits per second, high-data-rate digital signals deviate from the "norm" and become analog in nature, requiring an entirely new approach to design. That is, high-frequency design tools, including electromagnetic (EM) simulation, are essential when designing systems operating at these speeds. This fact, plus the increased number of variables that must be addressed when creating high-speed designs, is precisely why Microwave Office for Signal Integrity (also known as AWR SI) exists.
