Applied Wave Research (AWR) and Shanghai Research Institute of Microelectronics (SHRIME), Peking University, have announced that AWR is donating its entire suite of RF design software in a collaborative effort to advance Peking University’s high-frequency design curriculum. The donation is the first step in a long-term program that will establish a joint RF design and research laboratory at the university’s research institute. The laboratory will spearhead high-frequency research projects in Shanghai and develop unified process design kits (PDKs) and value-added RF intellectual property (IP) for key foundry processes in China.
