Overview
This Webinar about Microwave and RF Filter Design will introduce the use of IE3D FASTEM for "Real-time" EM modeling and layout synthesis of typical planar RF/MMIC filter structures.
Today's RF/MMIC designer requires "circuit-level" EM simulation and modeling to support the accuracy and throughput demands needed to meet aggressive project schedule deadlines. The days of using simple, flat, planar 3D EM simulation solutions for high performance design are over. Now, thorough design space exploration is required to ensure the best layout geometry is chosen to achieve target design objectives. FASTEM is a unique IE3D feature that enables the designer to fully characterize a given EM structure architecture, eliminating recursive layout-simulate iterations, to converge on a layout that meets design goals.
What You Will Learn
- EM theory behind the design of a Marchand Balun
- Marchand Balun's application to filter design and detailed EM modeling considerations using HyperLynx 3D EM
