Leti and Partners in SOCRATE Project Focusing on Miniature Antennas with Super-Directivity Radiation Properties

July 15, 2013

GRENOBLE, France – July 15, 2013 – CEA-Leti said today that it and three partners in the SOCRATE project are developing innovative conceptsto significantly improve the directivity of electrically small antennas.

These antennas are generally limited to omnidirectional radiation, which is suitable for many wireless applications for communicating objects, such as UHF RFID, wireless telemetry and home automation. Nonetheless, the increase in small antennas’ directivity could create new wireless applications with improved spectral efficiency, reduced environmental electromagnetic impact and usage features that increase functionality.

The SOCRATE Project is based on an analysis of the fundamental limits of radiation properties … Read More → "Leti and Partners in SOCRATE Project Focusing on Miniature Antennas with Super-Directivity Radiation Properties"

Mentor Graphics Questa Verification Platform Adds Software-Driven Verification for Multi-Core SoC Designs

July 15, 2013

WILSONVILLE, Ore., July 15, 2013—Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that intelligent software-driven verification (iSDV) has been added to the Questa® functional verification platform to automatically generate embedded C test programs for both single-core and multi-core SoC design verification. As a result, engineering teams find more system level design bugs earlier in the verification process—during simulation or emulation, when they are easier and more cost effective to debug—before they escape into the prototype lab.

“To fully verify our high performance … Read More → "Mentor Graphics Questa Verification Platform Adds Software-Driven Verification for Multi-Core SoC Designs"
