LONDON — Applied Wave Research Inc. has agreed a licensing deal with Greek startup Helic SA that enables the integration of Helic’s VeloceRF inductance parameter extraction, modeling, and verification software within AWR’s Analog Office RF design suite.
Helic (Athens, Greece) and AWR (El Segundo, Calif.) also announced a marketing agreement enabling AWR to market the solution through its worldwide distribution channels.
The combined software would shorten the development cycle for large-scale RFICs, AWR said.
“When utilized within the AWR single platform, the design of inductor-heavy chips and systems-in-package becomes a systematic design process instead of an exotic art,” said Yorgos Koutsoyannopoulos, chief executive officer of Helic, in a statement issued by AWR.
VeloceRF is available as an option to all AWR customers using Analog Office software, starting at an annual license fee of $20,000. An early evaluation version will be available in the third quarter of 2006 and a production release of the combined solution is scheduled for Q1 2007.
AWR reported that S5 Wireless, a company that develops wireless circuits for telemetry and tracking, was looking forward to the integration of the Helic technology within the AWR design environment.
