Electromagnetic Simulations Workshop

High performance RF and Microwave devices form the physical layer (PHY) of today's wireless consumer and aerospace defence communication systems. Engineers in this industry have to deal with high complexity silicon and multilayered board technologies.
EM (Electromagnetic) interference and coupling between devices is one of the highest challenges. If not contained they can jeopardize the functionality of a complete design. This implies circuit re-spin, lengthening product development time and increasing costs.
If equipped with an EM-aware Computer Aided Design (CAD) tool, designers can mitigate the impact of electromagnetic effects. Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS), the industry leading RF Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool, now integrates 3D EM solvers. A 3D EM Finite Element (FEM) solver is added to the ADS layout allowing a full wave 3D EM simulation of 3D structure without leaving the ADS environment. It complements the already integrated 3D planar Method of Moments (MoM) solver. The new EMPro environment enriches the designers' components library with new 3D structures such as connectors, bond wires, solder balls, shielding boxes, etc. In addition to providing unprecedented 3D structure models, EMPro integrates a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) EM solver.
The workshop is on 28th April 2009 at 16:00 GMT.
