A closer look at the new solution with the help of Rob Knoth, Product Management Group Director in the Digital & Signoff Group at Cadence

With its recently announced “Joules RTL Design Studio”, Cadence is offering “a new solution that provides users with actionable intelligence to accelerate the register transfer level (RTL) design and implementation process.” According to Cadence, front-end designers can now access digital design analysis and debugging capabilities from a single, unified cockpit, enabling fully optimized RTL design prior to implementation handoff. For years, Cadence maintains, front-end designers have lacked visibility of RTL metrics on power, performance, area, and congestion (PPAC). Now, with the Joules RTL Design Studio, exploration and prototyping are possible prior to committing the design to the place and route phase.

Flagship product of the new engineering software company – a spinoff from defense contractor IERUS Technologies – is an electromagnetic simulation software that has been tested on real-world antenna, microwave, and scattering problems for the last twelve years

Wireless applications are getting ever more complex in several key industries such as defense, aerospace, 5G/6G communications, and automotive. Some of the design challenges concern multi- and wideband antennas, active and passive electronically steered arrays, MIMO antennas with complex beamforming, complex microwave networks, cosite interference when multiple antennas are placed on vehicles or aircrafts, and more. Companies developing advanced communication systems rely on electromagnetic simulation software that must combine speed, accuracy and flexibility, to reduce the development time while avoiding design errors.
