Overview of XFdtd's Schematic Editor and Optimization for Matching Network Design

Join XFdtd's product team for a comprehensive overview of XFdtd's schematic editor, including recent updates like optimization of component values, impedance and aperture tuners with tune codes, and system efficiency results.

Impedance Tuner Matching in XFdtd

Impedance and aperture tuners allow RF and antenna engineers to support numerous frequency bands with a single antenna. This is accomplished through software-controlled chips which configure the antenna to operate in multiple bands or modes of operation.
 
Remcom’s XFdtd is a full-wave electromagnetic simulation tool that contains an integrated schematic editor and circuit solver. The electromagnetic simulation accounts for the full-wave interactions between the antenna, PCB, housing, and matching network layout. The schematic editor allows the multi-state tuners to be incorporated into the full-wave results and supports optimization on system efficiency. This presentation will demonstrate the advantages of using XFdtd for complex matching network design.
