Integrated 3D EM/Circuit Co-Simulation Environment for First-Pass Design Win
Broadcast Date: Thursday, April 22, 2021
Duration: 1 hour

Summary
Industry trends in RF and Microwave Design are driven by consumer demand for more functionality in smaller form factors and at increasingly higher application frequency bands with broadband modulated RF signals. Denser integration of complex RF and Microwave components and integrated modules at higher frequencies requires circuit simulation to be combined with 3DEM simulation to account for inevitable parasitic and coupling. In this webinar, you will learn how to assemble and analyze multi-technology components to achieve design wins in this competitive market and see how RFPro 3DEM-circuit co-simulation is iteratively used during design tweaks; and not just as a final sign off verification before hardware fabrication.
In this webinar, we will:
- Explore RFPro, a unique 3D EM/Circuit Co-simulation environment tightly integrated in ADS to enable easy access to EM analysis by RF and Microwave Circuit Designers whenever they need it during the design process.
- Learn how RFPro is used in the design phase to help identify and fix design problems such as undesired coupling, frequency shifts, mismatch losses, and other issues.
- See how to automate the setup of 3D EM-circuits analysis of multi-technology components without layout modification or cookie cutting. EM results are then seamlessly connected back to the circuit for spontaneous 3D EM-circuit co-simulation without the tedious and error-prone processing of separate 3D EM analysis.
