Abstract

There are a number of CAD tools available in the market today for microwave designs. They enable the designer to try his hand at even very complex design very easily and quickly. They optimize MEMS designs prior to fabrication, which reduces prototype development cycle time and cuts manufacturing costs. This paper attempts to list a few of the popular CAD tools that are available in the market today and highlights on their special features that makes each tool unique.
