Freescale RF Engineering Tools

Freescale RF Engineering Tools: Design and Simulation Software for RF and Wireless Systems

A comprehensive suite of tools for RF engineering, including schematic capture, system simulation, device modeling, and PCB layout.

What is Freescale RF Engineering Tools?

Freescale RF Engineering Tools is a comprehensive suite of design and simulation software targeted for RF and wireless systems engineers. It is developed by NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale Semiconductor) and includes the following tools:

• RF Editor - Schematic capture and analog/RF circuit simulation using SPICE models
• System Architect - System-level modeling and simulation for wireless systems
• Model Editor - Creating and managing device models
• PCB Layout - PCB design with DRC and antenna design capabilities

Some key capabilities include:

• RF system planning with standards-based reference designs
• Circuit simulation of time/frequency domain response
• Integrated electromagnetic (EM) co-simulation
• Modeling of active/passive RF components
• Analysis of phase noise, distortion, gain, etc.
• Design rule checking for RF PCB layout

The tools provide deep integration across the entire RF product development workflow - from system architecture to PCB layout. It helps engineers analyze, optimize and verify their wireless, RFIC and module designs without requiring multiple point-tools.
