How do you think, what are the main (current and future)
problems of successful RFIC design. Please pick one:

- Accurate models of passives
- Optimization of final design
- Disagreement of simulation and measurements

Anything else?
 

It is mainly
Accurate Active Device models for RFIC process...
Interconnect Parasitic Extractin....
and Single EDA tool for complete RFIC design flow (Schematic to GDS)...
One EDA company is doing good in this domain is AWR see below...

which frequecy band are you referring to?
I guess different frequency band RFIC do have different difficulty in its development.

I mean the state-of-the-art designs. I work in research
and would like to know your opinions about main problems
of RFIC designer. Which part of design process takes you
the longest time, what you would like to speed-up, etc.
 

I like to extend the call for a more integrated design enviroment:

Matlab->GDS

How to backannotate process variability into a Matlab model with ECO?
 

I guess the problem could be how to take the parasitic effects in to consideration in pre-layout stage, or even in the circuit design stage.
