Webinar: 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. There can be many pitfalls between software modeling and delivering a functional, reliable product to a customer. Benchmark's design and manufacturing engineers have been through the drill, from simulation to prototyping and manufacturing, many times across many frequency bands.
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. Every design choice is subject to myriad considerations, especially as these systems must process higher-frequency signals through millimeter wave frequencies. Trust the engineers who have seen it before and can offer guidance on how to turn a schematic on paper (or on your screen) into a functional, realized product in hand that will deliver the performance you were hoping for.
