With the advent of RF design comes a new challenge for PCB Design Engineers: the ability to handle complex copper shapes and import simulator-generated DXF files of RF/Microwave geometries.

PADS recognized this challenge and built a solution into every seat of PADS Layout.

With PADS2007—and at no extra charge—every PADS Layout customer will be able to create wireless designs such as cell phones, cell repeater stations, satellite communication, automotive FOBS and any other RF/Microwave application.

With every seat of PADS Layout, you can now:

• Import complex copper shapes and line geometries into the Decal Editor
• Shield crucial traces for efficient channel/co-planar waveguide design
• Stitch area with Vias Arrays for complex copper-pour areas with specific pattern requirements
• Provide greater conductivity between planes on different layers
• Minimize noise susceptibility
•  Create precise outlines and square & chamfered corner geometry and output them in Gerber

Try it for yourself!
