Complex Radome Electromagnetics Simulation in Minutes 900x500

Complex Radome Electromagnetics Simulation in Minutes

Hosted By: Microwave Journal Logo

A radome is a structural enclosure that protects antennas and electronics from harsh weather and environmental factors without degrading electromagnetic signals to the radar. It is designed to have minimal impact on the electrical performance of the antenna and to withstand structural and wind loading performance requirements. They are used across multiple industries, including aerospace, defense, electronics, and telecommunications. Radomes, especially those containing multiple layers and curved FSS elements, are complex and the modeling and simulation of these systems can commonly take days and even weeks to complete. Altair’s streamlined radome simulation solution reduces this time to minutes. This webinar will overview Altair’s radome simulation solution and its application to design a radome system. Attendees will learn:

  • How to efficiently design, build and analyze arbitrary radomes using Altair electromagnetic simulation solutions.
  • Embed FSS elements within any interface between radome layers, easily mapping these elements onto any curved surfaces.
IBIS Demystified - Model Quality Verification with Altair Tools 900x500

IBIS Demystified - Model Quality Verification with Altair Tools

Hosted By: Signal Integrity Journal in Partnership with Altair

Simulation is always a mathematical description of the real world with all its limitations, and using non-verified models can cause the GIGO effect (Garbage-In-Garbage-out). IBIS files are one of the core models used in signal integrity simulations. An easy syntax check may be applied using the IBISCHK tool, however many cases a deeper investigation is needed. This webinar will cover aspects of simulation-driven verifications for IBIS models such as pin parasitic simulative evaluation and buffer characteristics analysis. Quality checks will be done using the Altair toolset: PollEx, HyperSpice and HyperStudy.

Faster PCB Sign-off by Detecting SI_PI Issues Early in Design Process 900x500

Faster PCB Sign-off by Detecting SI/PI Issues Early in Design Process

Hosted By: signal-integrity-journal-logo-vector-1

With the ongoing push to higher-speed and higher-density PCBs designers must improve their understanding of the flow of signals and power throughout the entire board to inform their core responsibilities of developing routing, placement, and layer stack-up strategies.

Although your organization may have a dedicated SI/PI team to validate signal integrity and power integrity, SI/PI experts talk in the language of mV, Ω, and Amps, whereas design engineers think in of mils, length, spacing. This presents a communication problem and a process inefficiency. Many iterations could be avoided if only the ECAD engineers had the ability to identify and resolve basic issues for themselves.

Learn how Altair PollEx can import any native ECAD format and provide designers with easy to use SI/PI screening tools that reduce design loops, increase collaboration, and improve board quality.
