Agilent Technologies' Genesys EDA Software Chosen by Maspro to Improve
Receiver Design
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 18, 2007 -- Agilent Technologies
Inc. today announced that Maspro Denkoh Corp. has selected Agilent's
Genesys and Momentum GX software to develop its TV-receiver and satellite-broadcast
equipment. The agreement includes multiple licenses and an optional
upgrade path to other Agilent EEsof EDA products.
Maspro is
Japan's leading provider of TV-receiving equipment such as antennas,
satellite receivers and broadcasting repeater devices, which often use
frequencies greater than 10 GHz. The company's designers were encountering
performance issues when slight changes were made to the printed circuit
board (PCB) design, requiring several design re-spins to understand
and correct the problems.
To solve these problems and reduce
re-spins in their design process, Maspro added circuit and electromagnetic
simulation to its design flow to improve efficiency. After evaluating
EDA tools on the market, Maspro chose Agilent's Genesys and Momentum
GX EDA software.
Maspro engineers who performed the tools evaluation
chose Genesys because it provided the highest return on investment and
the highest degree of accuracy, which Maspro needed to avoid the risk
of design re-spins. They determined that the Genesys solution would
help the most in improving their R&D efficiencies. They also preferred
Genesys because it is available in Japanese and several other languages.
"Our application engineers worked closely with key Maspro designers
to improve design efficiency for their high-frequency PC board design,"
said Mounir Adada, product marketing manager with Agilent's EEsof EDA
division. "I'm pleased that this leading equipment supplier in Japan
has chosen our Genesys and Momentum circuit and EM simulation tools,
and I look forward to working with them."
About Genesys
Eagleware-Elanix, the originator of Genesys, was acquired by Agilent
Technologies in 2005. Agilent EEsof EDA continues to build on and enhance
the Genesys platform, an integrated EDA software package for self-supporting
RF and microwave designers and workgroups. From initial system architecture
through final documentation, Genesys provides state-of-the-art performance
in a single easy-to-use design environment that is fast, powerful and
accurate.
