Unmet Need
RFIC designers need faster ways to develop compact, high-performance circuits for millimeter-wave wireless, radar, and imaging systems. Conventional workflows rely on expert intuition and repeated schematic, layout, and post-layout simulations, limiting the geometries that teams can practically explore.

Market Opportunity
Demand for autonomous vehicles is expected to reach 29 million units by 2035. High-resolution detection and ranging technologies, such as LiDAR, are used in autonomous vehicles for remote sensing. Using LiDAR to create, steer, and detect high-resolution optical beams in free-space allows capturing real time 3D data for a diverse...

Market Opportunity
The ubiquity of digital circuits in computing systems has led to a rise in power consumption due to the conversion of real-world analog electrical signals to digital ones using analog to digital converters (ADCs). Additionally, optical communications, while efficient, require electrical to optical (E/O) and optical to electrical...
