RF Designer Suite (RFD)
PCB+DRCP+ASC+G2C+RF+ADR+EDGE


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 or Analog and all types of RF PCB’s. It includes many features that enhance the design of RF / Microwave / Wireless printed circuit boards. It has a library of parametric commands that make infinite variations of complex boundary trace elements such as dividers, couplers, spiral inductors, radial stubs, and other shapes.

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. Routing with boundary nets with true arcs is fully supported and can be checked for connectivity or clearances.

Automatic tuning of net lengths is possible using accordion or trombone tuners or arcs. Advanced ground plane creation includes variable air gap control of any entity and support for cross hatching and pin hole filling. Automatic via peppering maximizes the connectivity of ground areas though different layers.

Design with advanced RF tools that inter-actively route using up to 3 rows of co-planar vias with dynamic RF vias that have an on line DRC that removes offending shield vias automatically.

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

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
