    Design of a Novel mmWave MIMO Radar System
    By TeamAWR | 22 Feb 2021
    Radar uses reflected radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. These detection systems that were once the exclusive domain of the aerospace and defense industry are now gaining popularity in the consumer industry, most notably automotive radar. Commercial adoption is possible, in part, because of high-volume semiconductor processes such as silicon germanium (SiGe) and complementary metal-oxide...

    μWaveRiders: Cadence AWR EM Simulators Solve Complex RF/Microwave Structures for Design Success
    By TeamAWR | 15 Dec 2020
    RF designers increasingly rely on electromagnetic (EM) simulations to characterize board designs before the first component is placed, and continue to use EM analysis right through manufacturing handoff. New capabilities in automation and EM analysis are critical as board designs become denser and new manufacturing processes allow you to squeeze more performance out of PCB designs.
