Advanced CAD/EDA for High-performance RF and High-Speed Connector Design
To achieve superior electrical, thermal and mechanical performance, broadband connectors have become increasingly complex, creating new challenges for design engineers and system integrators. This webinar presents advances in CAD technology that allow connector designers to work with CAD models more readily using ANSYS SpaceClaim's 3D Direct Modeling. 3D Direct modeling allows engineers using ANSYS HFSS for EM analysis to model complex 3D structures without having to be a CAD expert.

Power Integrity Analysis of High-Speed SerDes Analog Supply
SI engineers need better predictions for DC and AC simulation for SerDes analog supplies to meet tighter DC IR drop requirements and greatly reduced high-frequency transient noise specifications. Join us for this webinar in which an industry expert from Cisco will discuss the ANSYS tools that can be used to meet these challenges. You will learn how the use of an ANSYS 3-D field solver instead of a 2.5-D version can enhance your power delivery network analysis, resulting in faster development times and improved products.

Advanced Modeling Techniques for Phased Array Antennas
Electronically scannable antenna arrays often contain semi-arbitrary element layouts with hundreds or thousands of elements, creating a sizable challenge for electromagnetic simulation. This webinar will introduce attendees to computational techniques in ANSYS HFSS that enhance the modeling capabilities required for analyzing finite phased antenna arrays. The presenter will discuss how solve times with ANSYS HFSS may be reduced by several orders of magnitude when only a subset of scan vectors is required or sped up significantly for an array desiring full scan information. Examples will demonstrate how pattern accuracy is enhanced with HFSS’s numerical absorbing boundary that is effective at all scan angles.

Coupled Electro-Thermal Analysis of High-power RF Filters
Today’s wireless networks operating in crowded spectral environments require filter solutions with excellent selectivity to reduce co-site interference, stringent bandwidth requirements and low insertion loss to preserve signal strength and reduce infrastructure operating expenses associated with base-station power consumption. Due to harsh operating environments and high power handling, RF filter designers are increasingly concerned with thermal effects on filter performance. This webinar examines how the analysis of electrical performance due to the thermal and structural loads is achieved with bi-directional coupling between HFSS and ANSYS multi-physics analysis, presenting a workflow that illustrates the impact on the overall filter performance with real-world examples.
