Design
Technology: RF / Microwave
Layout
an RF Design in about an hour?!! Sure
!!
Layout
any RF or Microwave design with full intelligence on all parts, all
the time.
A set of software
tools for the unique graphical
and electrical requirements of radio frequency (RF) / Microwave /
Wireless printed circuit boards and ceramic substrates. Specialized
Functions Dramatically Reduce Layout time. Savings Of Up To
90% in Design Time Have Been Achieved.
Key
Features Include:
-
RF vias are made with additional vias as shields around the signal via using parametric controls
-
Length tuning of net lengths using arcs, accordion or trombone tuners
-
Microwave chamfers are auto created with a single pick using the Tchamfer command
-
Via peppering at any pitch with staggered option and suppression under components places thousands of ground plane vias in seconds
-
Compatibility with Agilent - ADS, Ansoft - HFSS, Applied Wave Research - 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
-
All custom geometries made with boundaries are supported by full connectivity (LVS) and DRC checks
-
Fully
flexible plane generation has no limitations

Automate the
creation of complex embedded circuits with:
-
Parametric
generation of imbedded 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
