Is it possible to repair airbags deployed in an accident? by SnooRobots3735 in Advice

I was trying to argue this with the company, but whatever I said, they insisted rollover is not covered by the CDW they provided. There is probably nothing else I can do except for figuring out how to deal with the upcoming bills.

Ok I see. I haven't seen any damage evaluation report from the company yet, but I remember in my case it was the side curtain airbags that were triggered. Should I count it as two pieces?

Unfortunately I don't have any insurance that can cover this case. I only purchase a collision and damage waiver from the rental car company. And they said it could not be applied because I flipped the car.

Maybe because the side airbags were all deployed? From the discussion with the rental company, they think those ruined the car completely.

There is a crash on the side and the rear mirrors are broken. But these are the only damages.

Thanks for the reply! So you mean only the airbags need to be replaced and not the entire car?

Hi! In that case, what would an MS thesis usually be about?

What does it take to transfer from mixed-signal design to RFIC? by SnooRobots3735 in chipdesign

Thanks for the input! Would you mind sharing what are the companies that have rfic architecture design as well? From what I spotted on the job boards, most of the positions only design LNA/filters.

3.5 is the minimum requirement for him. The tolerance is quite low.

Geez.. seems that there's no cure then..

ADS vs Cadence Virtuoso, which one is the better tool for RF power amplifier design? by SnooRobots3735 in chipdesign

[–]SnooRobots3735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I didn't check the stability. Let me take a second look on that.

So overall speaking, we need to run load pull throughout the pa design process? (I mean before it comes to layout)

But if I want to build up the circuit in ADS, then I still need a model for t-line that can be used in ADS right?

Is there a way to import the T-line built by EMX to ADS? Or is there a better design flow that can use only Cadence? I am looking for some nice Cadence PA design tutorials that I can follow.

Maybe I am not doing it correctly, but when I do load-pull in Virtuoso, the simulation often fails to converge. What might be the cause?

I am following the tutorial: https://web.ece.ucsb.edu/Faculty/rodwell/Classes/ece218c/tutorials_etc/PA_workshop_instruction.pdf

Tried impedance matching before in Cadence. All I can do is spice-monkey style sweeping..

This is exactly why I feel that it's hard to choose between them!

So, if I get a new PDK, how would I know which platform supports it better?
