AWR

Microwave Office is the complete linear and nonlinear solution for microwave hybrid, module
and MMIC design. It includes linear, harmonic-balance, and time-domain simulation, in a single
integrated environment that also features EM simulation and physical layout. Microwave Office
combines an advanced IC and PCB layout editor with world-class circuit simulation and
electromagnetic (EM) analysis tools. It includes linear and nonlinear noise analysis in a single
integrated environment that also features EM analysis, physical layout, and design rule
checking. Microwave Office expands the functionality of the design suite into layout for MMIC,
LTCC and RF printed circuit boards. Users can take designs from concept through to production
without ever leaving the Microwave Office design environment. Microwave Office also includes
extensive models, statistical design and yield analysis capabilities, and an optional data
migration tool for importing designs from Agilent/EEsof's Series IV and ADS products.
EM Socket.
AWR worked with leading EM simulation companies to create the EM Socket interface, which
interfaces with virtually any EM simulator and seamlessly integrates third-party design tools into
the AWR high-frequency design environment. By leveraging AWR’s component object model
(COM) architecture, the EM Socket provides a level of circuit-to-EM integration that goes well
beyond traditional standards of interoperability, which typically use cumbersome file transfer
methods. This open socket standard enables users to access multiple EM simulators, from a
variety of vendors, without leaving the AWR design environment. The solution facilitates greater
flexibility in design methodology while providing a common user interface.

Analog Office. design suite is the first complete IC design system in over ten years that is
specifically architected and optimized from the ground up for next generation analog and RFIC
designs. The solution, which is focused on total RF closure, boasts an industry-first, concurrent
interconnect-driven and RF-aware design methodology in a unified design environment that
delivers unprecedented ease-of-use, interactivity and openness. The Analog Office design suite
is fully integrated into existing digital and mixed signal IC design flows and enables analog and
RFIC design engineers to significantly shorten their development cycles and speed wireless
products to market.

Optimal

O-Wave.

As designs move from 130nm to 90nm and beyond, advanced SoC designs call for more layers,
higher speeds and mixed-signal integration, quasi-static solutions are proving to be inadequate.
To meet the new design challenges, only full-wave signal integrity solutions will provide the
accuracy required to adequately perform RLGC parasitic extraction or S-parameter analysis for
IC-Package-PCB co-design.

O-Wave. is a high-speed, high-accuracy 3D full-wave extraction tool for simulation and
verification of complex, high-frequency IC, package and PCB designs. In comparison, quasistatic
tools do not provide enough accuracy for high-speed designs and full-wave alternatives
can not efficiently handle complex structures due to speed and computer capacity limitations. OWave
provides accurate output results up to 10x faster than full-wave alternatives, making OWave
a very powerful, efficient solution for signal integrity design.

Dr. An-Yu Kuo
Chief Technical Officer, Optimal Corporation

Dr. An-Yu Kuo, Chief Technical Officer, co-founded Optimal Corp. in 1995. Previously, he was Associate
at Structural Integrity Associates, where he was responsible for sales and consulting projects. Dr. Kuo has
won several grants from the U.S. government, and developed a break-through full-wave field solver that is many times faster than the competitors’ products. Dr. Kuo received his BSME from National Tsing-Hua
University, MSME from National Taiwan University., and Ph.D. from University of Illinois.

Mr. Thomas Quan
Vice President of Marketing, Applied Wave Research, Inc.

Tom Quan, an EDA industry veteran, joined AWR as vice president of marketing and is situated in the
company's Silicon Valley office. Tom has over 20 years of experience in technical and marketing roles in
the semiconductor and EDA industries.

Prior to joining AWR, Tom was vice president of marketing at Cadence Design Systems since 2000
where he oversaw strategic marketing and business development activities for several Cadence strategic
initiatives and programs targeting system-on-chip designs and foundry libraries. Prior to Cadence, Tom
held executive management positions at Monterey Design Systems, Duet Technologies, and High Level
Design Systems that was acquired by Cadence in 1996.

From 1989 to 1995 Tom was again at the Analog Division of Cadence as Director of Marketing,
responsible for the "front-to-back" EDA design solutions targeted for the design of complex analog and
mixed-signal ICs, and as Director of Corporate Strategy & Business Development, responsible for the
strategic planning and new market development in the areas of Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) and
Intellectual Property (IP).

Tom began his career at Intel Corporation as an IC designer and holds a BSEE from the University of
California, Berkeley, and an MBA from Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University.

Mr. Dave Neilson
Director of the Analog Market Segment, Applied Wave Research, Inc.

David Neilson joined AWR in December of 2000. He is currently the Director of the Analog Market
Segment responsible for technical marketing, R&D specification, 3rd party tool integrations and strategic
accounts for the tool set. Mr. Neilson started his professional career at TRW where he specialized in
MMIC chip design, high dynamic-range mixer design, and low-noise receiver front-ends. After leaving
TRW, Mr. Neilson worked at Cadence Design Systems as an Analog Core Competency Engineer where
he supported Spectre, SpectreRF, SpectreAHDL and the complete Analog Artist Tool Set. From there,
he held positions as CAD manager and silicon designer for Apple Computers and Raycer Graphics
specializing in signal integrity and gigabit digital design. David received a bachelor of science degree in
electrical and computer engineering from New Mexico State University in 1985.
