Developer of the first fully integrated CMOS power amplifier for GSM/GPRS mobile handsets will explore how it employed Agilent’s GoldenGate Simulator for chip-level design and simulation IRVINE, Calif., July 24, 2007 – Axiom Microdevices Inc., provider of the world’s first and only fully integrated complementary metal oxide semiconductor power amplifiers (CMOS PA) for mobile handsets, today announced that its director of engineering will deliver a technical presentation at the upcoming RFIC Design Seminar, “Tackling the Tough Problems," hosted by Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A).Who Rahul Magoon, director of engineering at Axiom Microdevices, has 12 years of experience in the research and development of radio frequency integrated circuits (RFIC) for cellular applications. Magoon has been with Axiom Microdevices since its inception in 2002 as a member of the initial founding group and has played a key role in the development and market introduction of Axiom Microdevices’ AX502 CMOS PA. This award-winning technology enables handset manufacturers to take advantage of the industry’s investments in mainstream CMOS processes and provides for better long-term integration by removing the need for specialty gallium arsenide (GaAs) technologies. Magoon holds a bachelor of technology in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay and a master of science degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara. What Agilent Technologies is sponsoring the RFIC Design Seminar series, "Tackling the Tough Problems," to address the issues facing RFIC designers today. Each half-day seminar will feature four one-hour presentations by industry and Agilent experts who will provide insight into practical design methodologies. Magoon will show how Axiom Microdevices uses Agilent Technologies’ GoldenGate Simulator tool for chip-level design and simulation of its CMOSbased PA designs. Why Axiom Microdevices’ breakthrough CMOS PA integrates full quad-band GSM/GPRS functionality on a single integrated circuit, using mainstream 0.13um silicon CMOS technology. This patented technology enables integration of the PA output match on die along with the power control function, eliminating the need for complex and expensive multichip module technology based on GaAs or other specialty processes. Axiom Microdevices relies on the GoldenGate Simulator to efficiently handle complex non-linear circuits in the frequency domain and achieve improved design cycle times. In June, Axiom Microdevices shipped its one millionth power amplifier and continues to ramp production shipments today. When and Where The RFIC Design Seminar will be held on July 24 in San Diego and on July 25 in Irvine, Calif.
