Master RF (Radio Frequency) Designer (MRFD)
PCB+CERM+RF+FLX+DRCP+G2C+ASC+ADR+HSP+EDGE+IRT+ADOC+3D+PAA


Layout any RF or Microwave design with full intelligence on all parts, all the time.

This suite is suitable for designing any type of Digital and Analog PCBs and all types of RF PCBs including Phased Array Antennas. Connect micro-strip and strip-line with an advanced RF tool that inter-actively routes while automatically placing up to 3 rows of co-planar vias with dynamic RF vias that have an on line DRC that removes offending shield vias automatically.

It also includes an interactive auto-router that contains a powerful push program that maintains complex clearance rules in a configurable grid including differential pair gaps. Two links of your choice to simulation software is provided. The advanced path tuning functions in the Phased Array Antenna module includes a comparison report of all paths and the difference between all the path lengths.

Key Features Include:

  1. RF vias are made with additional vias as shields around the signal via using parametric controls

  2. Length tuning of net lengths using arcs, accordion or trombone tuners (includes phased-array design tools)

  3. Microwave chamfers are auto created with a single pick using the Tchamfer command

  4. Via peppering at any pitch with staggered option and suppression under components places thousands of ground plane vias in seconds

  5. Compatibility with Agilent - ADS, Ansys - HFSS, AWR Corp. - MWO and other simulators for a seamless design solution (over 100 identical parts made in our system to match ADS and MWO parts) See our Third Party Links Page

  6. All custom geometries made with boundaries are supported by full connectivity (LVS) and DRC checks

  7. Fully flexible plane generation has no limitations

Phased Array Antenna Design and Tuning Process:

  • An optimization Software is used to place the dividers in the antenna array and autoroute them.
     

  • It automatically seeks the configuration which has the best coarse path length or delay matching of all the paths.
     

  • An interactive editor is then used which will display all the path lengths and allow real time manual length adjustments to get the tuning closer.
     

  • Finally an automatic tuning software is used which will put undulating arcs in the nets to achieve 100% tuning of all the paths to 4 decimal places of accuracy
     

  • See our 'PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA' information page here

 

Automate the creation of complex embedded circuits with:

  • Parametric generation of Embedded circuits, Dividers, couplers, spiral inductors, radial stubs, etc.

  • Any footprint can be made with any shape 

  • Via peppering makes via arrays connecting identical plane nets, on multiple layers and automatically removes vias that would connect to the wrong net

  • Path tuning for phased array antennas

  • Support for embedded components and circuits inside blocks

  • Full net list (LVS) and DRC checking functionality on any shape and at any hierarchical level

  • Creates coplanar ground shields with coplanar vias, even on arced entities automatically

  • Automatic placement of all ground ties on SMT parts, on all layers and nets with automatic tie segment / via reduction based on DRC results

  • Boundary ground planes with progressively filleted corners and variable individual gap control on every entity

  • Users have told us that our Boundary Plane generation software is the best available

  • Unlimited geometries and accuracy 10 -10 in any units system

  • Automatic placement of all ground ties on through hole parts, on all layers, with automatic tie spoke deletion based on DRC results

  • Split plane edges are automatically generated from simple easy to draw dividers
