Click to visit the Applied Wave Research websiteEl Segundo, Calif. and Centurion, South Africa — Nov. 30, 2009 — AWR®, the innovation leader in high-frequency electronic design automation (EDA) and AMPSA, supplier of RF and microwave amplifier design software, today announced a relationship that enables AWR to incorporate AMPSA’s Multimatch amplifier design technology as an optional module into its industry-leading Microwave Office high-frequency design software. By making the Multimatch Amplifier Design Wizard (Multimatch ADW) readily available to Microwave Office software users, designers gain ready access to design technology for realizing state-of-the-art, high-dynamic-range RF and microwave amplifiers (Class A and Blass B).

“The power of Multimatch software comes from its specialized structure and powerful real-world synthesis, analysis, optimization, and artwork capabilities,” said Pieter Abrie, founder of AMPSA. “Incorporating Multimatch as a pre-processor to AWR’s RF and microwave circuit simulator offers a complete, robust, and comprehensive design environment for amplifier designers.”

“The inclusion of the Multimatch ADW in the AWR product portfolio mix streamlines the design flow and improves the efficiency of the user,” said Sherry Hess, vice president of marketing at AWR. “This partnership continues our ongoing strategy of providing best-in-class tools and technologies that improve the overall design experience of our customers and help them get their products to market quickly.”
