Conclusion
The capability to design and verify the performance of the individual components, along with the entire signal channel, is a
necessity as element counts increase and antenna/electronics integration advances. Through a sophisticated design flow
that encompasses circuit simulation, system-level behavioral modeling, and EM analysis operating within a single design
platform, development teams can investigate system performance and component-to-component interaction prior to costly
prototyping.
