Introduction to TriQuint Process Technology
As part of our commitment to provide customers excellent support services, TriQuint hosts an annual MMIC Technology and Design course.

The three-day course is taught by TriQuint’s expert staff and designed to help new customers maximize the effectiveness of their foundry process submissions. Attendees will learn about our process technology, see design examples, and meet the engineers creating the processes.

We can also arrange for our modeling tools partners, Agilent and AWR, to teach a half-day course in conjunction with the three-day course.

Who should take the GaAs class?

The class is well suited for design engineers, design managers, and technologists with basic RF knowledge, transistor level circuit experience and familiarity with circuit simulation. Integrated circuit design or specific GaAs experience is not required.

If you are building commercial and defense applications such as WiMAX | LTE | Automotive Radar | Point to Point radio | Mobile TV | phased array radar | DC to DC converters | and 60GHz WPAN , this class will help you learn whether TriQuint’s processes are right for your designs.

Company specific training can be arranged for larger groups interested in taking the course together. For more information about our next training please contact us.
