COURSE OVERVIEW
You will learn:
Keysight Technologies offers a modularly structured training course of the 3D Method of Moments (Momentum) and Finite Element Method (FEM) electromagnetic simulators integrated into the Advanced Design System (ADS). The course can be configured by customers, depending on their unique requirements, to address either engineers completely new to the technology or engineers who have already used the tool for a number of years but may not have been able to delve into the more advanced capabilities of the simulators or are new to one of the simulation technologies.
Course Type: User/Application Training.
Audience: Engineers and scientists who work in an RF, microwave or mm-wave design environment and want an in-depth understanding of designing circuits using the dominant 3D EM simulation technologies.
Prerequisites: Knowledge of ADS layout and schematic capture, circuit simulations and data display. Familiarity with fundamental RF and microwave concepts. PC and MS Windows experience.
Course Length: 3 days.
Course Format: The course combines lecture presentations with instructor guided student labs.
Agenda:
11 September 2023, 9am - 5pm CET: EM Component Parameterization, Cosimulation & Cooptimization
- EM Component parameterization is the basis for EM-circuit-system cooptimizations.
- Learn the two methods to convert static to parameterized geometries – Nominal/Perturbed graphical and Subcircuit component based.
- Compare traditional “puzzle-piece” modeling approaches to modeling an entire geometry in a single EM simulation.
- Understand and efficiently use thick conductor modeling using LTCC spiral inductors as examples.
- For custom geometries with complex parameterization requirements, learn how to define AEL artwork macros and convert them to EM Components.
12 September 2023, 9am - 5pm CET: Efficient CPW & Multilayer Modeling & Analysis of Differential Structures
- Use slot layers to efficiently model (CPW) Coplanar Waveguide and multilayer PCB structures.
- Learn the different grounding concepts such as localized grounds and return paths vs. ground at infinity, and differential signaling.
- Perform pure differential and mixed-mode (common–differential) S-Parameter simulations using schematic templates and DDS equations and understand the implications this has on real-world differential signal routing.
13 September 2023, 9am - 5pm CET: Multitechnology Structures, IC Packaging, Modules, SiP
- The Finite Element Method is the most general 3D simulation technique and allows users to simulate IC or multi-chip module packages and many other structures that Momentum cannot represent.
- FEM can also be used to validate Momentum simulations to increase confidence levels. In this module, you will also learn why building 3D models from a 2D layout user-interface has significant benefits over having to draw 3D structures in a CAD UI.
Price: The cost of the 3-day class is $1950 + VAT. You can consider the registration form as a formal quotation from Keysight.
