Getting from a Model to a Real Product
New product design and development at RF/microwave frequencies is never routine or easy. Simulation using design software is a critical step in improving a new product design. In this webinar, Benchmark offers advice on what to look for from RF/MW software simulation that may help reduce risk on certain design elements, material selections that may help improve performance, and even design considerations that ensure your product moves smoothly into manufacturing and test.
