The Phased Array Antenna Module is included in the
following Designer Suite:
This product may also be purchased separately as an add-on
module to any Designer Suite.

This software facilitates the semiautomatic and
automatic tuning of phased array antennas. It has a system to keep
track of all the path lengths in the antenna system’s routing and
various tuning commands that tune the entire path at once.

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.
EPD software
from CDS is a modern and
robust Electronic Design Automation tool
Simple conversion of existing designs to EPD
format.
All current Autocad commands will continue to be
available with no changes, making for a smooth transition to a high
level of automation for vastly increased designer productivity.
Automation of
most current design steps with
simultaneous design verification
Rules driven design process
Full Layout vs Schematic comparison and
verification
Full DRC checking of all rules, including complex
custom rules
as defined by customer.
Length and Path matching of antenna lines.
Complete verification of the Gerber image vs the
AutoCAD image.
CDS customizes
its software to speed up
the current design process
Opportunities always exist to automate various
design steps.
Every type of design has unique requirements.
Application specific design steps and processes
are automated
instead of just providing generic features.
New commands and processes are easily implemented
to
reduce laborious tasks.
Short development, test and release cycle.
CDS has already
