Integrating EM Simulation Technologies Within An RFIC Design Flow

A full-chip analyzation of a radio-frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) requires more than any single electromagnetic (EM) simulation technology, as the structure’s geometries and scales can pose a significant challenge to overcome. A successful RFIC analyzation usually requires a parasitic extraction simulator, a planar EM simulator, and arbitrary 3D solvers. This white paper inspects the characterization of all three technologies in these simulators using the NI AWR Design Environment™. Download the full paper for more information.
