Overview of XFdtd's Schematic Editor and Optimization for Matching Network Design
XFdtd 3D EM Simulation Software includes a schematic editor for analyzing matching networks, corporate feed networks, and beamforming. It integrates a frequency-domain circuit solver with full-wave results. As modern wireless products require more components, shrinking the available real estate for a device’s antennas and complicating design, engineers face challenges that the schematic editor eases.
Key Takeaways:
- Optimization determines the ideal component values to meet design goals
- Availability of tune codes for impedance and aperture tuner applications
- System efficiency as a result metric
- Matching network parasitics
- Diplex matched antennas
- Beamforming
- Operating modes for simulating multi-state devices
- Slide bars for manual tuning
- SAR post-processing
