Analysis software upgrade

AWR has released performance enhancements to its Axiem 3D planar electromagnetic analysis software that increase speed, accuracy and capacity. Solver and meshing algorithms have made it possible to migrate EM analysis from a back-end, post-verification tool to an upfront design diagnostic solution.

Enhancements include: support for 64-bit PC platforms, which makes it possible to solve designs with over 100,000 unknowns; expanded support for multi-core configurations; loss model improvements that deliver more robust data at low frequencies; extensive sources/ports and de-embedding options that provide greater flexibility and accuracy.

Whether employed as an electromagnetic solver accessed from within Microwave Office design or as a standalone point tool, the software offers advantages for the EM analysis of planar components such as RF printed circuit boards and modules, low-temperature, co-fired ceramic packages, monolithic microwave integrated circuits and RF integrated circuits.
