ELECTROMAGNETIC CAD TOOLS

- Ansoft

Nexxim, HFSS, ANSOFT DESIGNER

Ansoft Designer integrates Nexxim circuit

simulator and HFSS 3D electromagnetic

field simulator. This dynamic,parameterized co-simulation capability

allows engineers to achieve optimal

designs.

- For high-performance RF/mW design, Ansoft

Designer combines system-level behavioral base-band andRF blocks with transistor level detail for analog circuits and 3D

full- wave electromagnetic detail at the component level to

provide accurate board-level simulations

- For high-performance analog/RFIC verification, Ansoft

Designer complements existing IC design capture and

advanced package layout tools with its built-in planarelectromagnetic solvers and dynamic, parameterized co-

simulation with HFSS and Nexxim. Engineers can create

accurate models of on-chip passives and board/package

interconnects, combine them with detailed analog circuits andsimulate the true interactions between active non-linear devices

and passive parasitic at high frequencies.

Microwave Office

Microwave Office 2007 design suite provides a flexible RF/microwave design tool.

Built on AWR high-frequency design platform with its open design environment

and advanced unified data model.

Microwave Office software offers unprecedented openness, enabling ease-of-use

and the ability to integrate tools for each part of the design process.

- The single, object-oriented database is inherently synchronized with schematic,

simulation, and layout data providing everything a designer needs to take an idea

from concept through simulation, and directly into physical implementation, all in

one platform.

Advanced Design System- ADS

ADS is a powerful electronic design automation softwaresystem. It offers complete design integration to designers ofproducts such as cellular and portable phones, pagers, wirelessnetworks, and radar and satellite communications systems.

ADS supports system and RF design engineers developing alltypes of RF designs, from simple to the most complex, fromRF/microwave modules to integrated MMICs forcommunications and aerospace/defense applications.

With a complete set of simulation technologies ranging fromfrequency- and time-domain circuit simulation toelectromagnetic field simulation, ADS lets designers fullycharacterize and optimize designs. The single, integrated

design environment provides system and circuit simulators,along with schematic capture, layout, and verification capability- eliminating the stops and starts associated with changingdesign tools in mid-cycle.

EMPIRE

EMPIRE is a versatile 3D electromagnetic field simulatorbased on the powerful 3D Finite Difference Time Domain

Method (FDTD).

Requires least memory requirements, one simulation for an

entire frequency range.

EMPIRE solves the discrete Maxwell's equations directly.

Its applicability ranges from analyzing planar structures,

interconnects, and multi-port multilayer packages towaveguides, antennas and EMC problems. EMPIRE covers

the whole area of 3D field simulations for RF designers.

Scattering parameters, radiation patterns and field plots aregenerated for a user-defined frequency range.

CST MICROWAVE STUDIO is a specialist tool for

the 3D EM simulation of high frequency components.

Applications include typical MW&RF like in mobile

communication, wireless design, but also increasingly

signal integrity, and EMC/EMI.

CST MICROWAVE STUDIO offers customers choice

of five powerful solver modules; the Transient, Eigen-

mode, Frequency Domain, "Resonant: Fast S-

Parameter", "Resonant: S-Parameter, Fields"

(formerly known as Modal Analysis), and the Integral

Equation Solver, each offering distinct advantages in

their own domains.
