What's Your Focus - High-Performance Electronic Design
- Antenna System Design and Simulation
Ansoft provides powerful, integrated software tools that are ideal for designing and optimizing the performance of antennas systems. Complex radiating elements like planar inverted F (PIFA) antennas, patches, flared notches, ultra wideband radiators, electronic bandgap elements, and emerging metamaterial antennas can be designed using HFSS, the industry standard 3D full-wave electromagnetic field simulation software.
- High Speed Interconnect Design
Trends toward point-to-point serial interconnects provide numerous and distinct system implementation advantages. While these advantages compel the standardization and rapid adoption of serial links, it also has attendant challenges for system and board designers. Reliable signal transmission across a host board or between daughter cards on a backplane at GHz speeds compels adoption of new strategies and tools. This reference flow document outlines a reference design flow/methods that leverage Ansoft's expertise in advanced circuit simulation and electromagnetic extraction tools to reliably characterize and design complex serial channels so that engineers can overcome the design challenges for high-speed serial interconnects.
- MMIC Design
MMIC design at millimeter-wave frequencies can be easily accomplished using Ansoft's MMIC design methodology. This highly accurate MMIC design methodology incorporates rigorous 3D and planar electromagnetic simulation required for RF characterization with traditional system and circuit simulation techniques and validated device models.
- RFIC Design
Ansoft's powerful EDA design tools deliver high-performance and high-accuracy to RF integrated circuit design (RFIC) design. Our best-in-class technology for circuit and electromagnetic field simulation complements established monolithic IC design flows allowing designers to simulate sensitive analog circuits while including layout and the electromagnetic effects stemming from the electronic package.
- RFID Design
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an electronic tagging technology that allows an object, place, or person to be automatically identified at a distance without a direct line-of-sight using a radio wave exchange. Applications include inventory tracking, prescription medication tracking and authentication, secure automobile keys, and access control for secure facilities. Ansoft's HFSS™, Nexxim® and Ansoft Designer® provide the computational power to accurately design all aspects of an RFID system.
- WiMax Design Solutions
As network equipment manufacturers and chip makers race to deliver WiMax products, they are faced with significant design challenges, including signal separation, delays due to longer ranges, signal integrity effects from higher data rates, and coupling and interference associated with multiple antennas (MIMO). Ansoft's high-performance simulation solutions play an integral role in quantifying or capturing coupling phenomena prior to fabrication, in analyzing signal integrity issues related to high-speed channels, and in helping designers understand the complex interactions incumbent with MIMO channels.
