Signia Technologies Uses Agilent Technologies Solutions to Improve Bluetooth IC Design Predictability
Overview Signia Technologies is a wireless solution provider with expertise in wireless communication products. Signia's major business areas include integrated circuit, software, system, and networking design for Bluetooth products. Improving design predictability for a highly integrated 0.25 µm RFCMOS transceiver IC was a major goal for Signia. Especially since they started this design without an extensive library of proven RF blocks to choose from. Additionally, Bluetooth components require a high level of integration to meet the size, power consumption, and low cost requirements, so Signia needed a method to accurately predict measured results from simulation data. Working with Agilent Technologies and TSMC, the world's largest foundry, Signia was able to use a design kit co-developed by all three companies. ADS was then used in combination with this design kit to design and simulate the highly complex Bluetooth transceiver in the frequency domain using the Harmonic Balance simulator.
