Add Mixed Technology, Including RF, to Your PCB Design in Half the Time

Details

Overview

For complex mixed technology system designs with RF, analog, and digital technologies; the RF portion commonly takes up to 75% of the total design cycle. At the same time, today's RF systems have increased in complexity to a point where these cycle times are measured in months rather than weeks or days. Plus, design re-spins are common.

The PCB design community has lived with these issues for a long time and the situation increasingly worsens as the wireless telecom, military, consumer and automotive industries boost RF content in their products.

This web seminar will present innovative tools and methodologies to dramatically cut the design time, improve product performance, and lead to better quality PCBs containing mixed technology, including RF circuits.

What You Will Learn

  • How this technology drastically cuts development time when designing with mixed technologies
  • How to improve product performance even with complex designs
  • How globally dispersed designers can work on the large RF boards in parallel

Who Should View

  • Members of design teams from the wireless telecom, consumer, military, and automotive industries
  • Design managers interested in reducing cycle times and better managing their resources
