Our proven device modeling capability encompasses linear and non-Linear device models.
We successfully modeled a variety of microwave devices were and implemented the models into custom and public libraries.
The procedure we use covers all the steps of device evaluation, measurement and characterization, modeling, CAD tool implementation and verification.
This multi-step procedure can be tailored to specific client needs by selecting from the following modeling steps:
Our repertoire of linear designs includes: Special filters and frequency multiplexers -
Preliminary parametric device characterization using DOE and "Device Zoo"
Selection of operating range for the device.
The operating range is defined by the intended circuit application(s) of the device models may cover one or more application(s) of the device.
The operating range is defined by circuit properties including:
Bias
Signal level
Frequency range
Temperature range
Maximum currents, voltages or light power
Selection of appropriate target model
Selection of the correct device model is a key to limit the resource investment in the modeling effort and it maximizes design quality
Definition of necessary data for modeling
Definition of the device pool for measurements
Measurements of device(s) - Analysis, Sorting
Data analysis and cleanup
Data formatting per modeling technique
Parameter extraction
Model validation
Model and device layout implementation in CAD tool(s).
Platforms include Agilent's ADS, Ansoft's Designer and SPICE
