Summary
Designed MMIC’s and packages will be scrutinized from the level of MMIC schematics, layout and simulation performance. The evaluation of simulated performance includes consideration of involved models, small-signal S parameters simulations, Harmonic balance simulations, and EM simulations of passives. In this second run the main focus is to optimize the MMICs for best possible performance, firstly as bare dies but also the possibility to compensate influence from package. The CDR Run 2 will end with the delivery of the stack of GDS files from the design, the different versions and the test patterns as well as the package details. All this material will be documented together with the output from the CDR into a written report.
