Telemetry Systems Development Design Flow Improves Productivity 150 Percent

Quasonix designers have developed a novel design flow that enables design success in a single pass. The methodology uses the NI AWR Design Environment platform, specifically Microwave Office circuit simulation software combined with EM simulation from the AXIEM 3D planar method-of-moments (MoM) solver and highly accurate Modelithics Microwave Global Models for passive components and nonlinear models for active devices such as transistors. When developing a new system, Quasonix typically builds the entire transmitter, rather than prototypes, relying on the accuracy of the RF simulations, including the component models, to ensure success.
