EM Simulation

The new NI AWR Design Environment™ V12.02 is an all-inclusive simulator system composed of Microwave Office, Visual System Simulator™ (VSS), Analog Office, AXIEM, and Analyst™. The new system is an advanced version of the V12, offering new load-pull features as well as improvements to the Analyst 3D element method electromagnetic simulator and layout, and to NI AWR Design Environment modeling, scripting, and stability analysis.

Altair now offers HyperWorks^® 14.0, the latest release of their open architecture CAE simulation platform. The platform includes several new products, feature enhancements, and updated functionalities for use in designing and optimizing high-performance, weight-efficient, and innovative products.This is the first release of FEKO within HyperWorks, with HyperWorks version numbering being adopted.

Sonnet’s high frequency electromagnetic (EM) software can be used in the analysis of microwave circuit discontinuities, arbitrary microstrip and stripline circuits, planar (patch) antennas, planar spiral inductors, RFIC and MMIC circuits, multi-layer circuits like LTCC and PCB technology, planar filter analysis, and high density interconnects.

The Re-Entry Vehicle Toolbox from the IDS Computational Electromagnetic Laboratory has been integrated into the ADF-EMS v5.1 system. The software aims to provide a set of capabilities for the analysis and optimization of RF links between a re-entry vehicle and ground or satellite relay stations.

Wireless InSite is a suite of ray-tracing models and high-fidelity EM solvers for the analysis of site-specific radio wave propagation and wireless communication systems. The RF propagation software provides predictions of EM propagation and communication channel characteristics.

Design requirements for 24 GHz and 77 GHz automotive radar sensors are becoming more stringent as consumers increase demand for applications like blind spot detection (BSD) and lane change assistance (LCA). In turn, the engineering departments at Tier 1 suppliers like Delphi, Autoliv, and Continental are advancing technology in order to win bids from OEMs like BMW, Audi, and Chrysler.

Simulation technology has also advanced to meet design requirements.  Remcom offers an integrated approach from sensor design to drive test scenarios.

Sonnet provides Cadence Virtuoso users with an integrated high frequency EM model extractor. Sonnet’s API for Virtuoso enables the RFIC designer to configure and run a full wave high frequency electromagnetic (EM) model extraction for a layout or Pcell, extract accurate electrical models, and create a schematic symbol for electrical simulation and post-layout verification. You can take advantage of Sonnet’s accuracy without leaving the Cadence environment.

AWR's AXIEM™ 3D planar electromagnetic (EM) software is an industry first to deliver EM analysis as a true upfront design technology
