Description

Pharos integrates Ansys' exceptional electromagnetic (EM) engine capabilities with a unique high-capacity circuit simulation engine, enabling comprehensive coupling analysis and the identification of potential EM crosstalk aggressors for each victim node. By pinpointing the most vulnerable nets, designers can strategically direct their design choices to mitigate EM crosstalk issues, thereby reducing risks throughout the design process. This tool not only has an extraordinary extraction engine but also features a built-in simulation component that facilitates in-depth EM analysis and categorizes potential crosstalk aggressors affecting each victim net. As a result, designers can concentrate on the nets that pose the highest risk within their designs. Given the increasing complexity of designs and the extensive range of magnetic field interference, it becomes a daunting challenge to identify every susceptible victim/aggressor net pair affected by EM crosstalk. Therefore, the effective use of Pharos can significantly enhance the reliability and efficiency of the design workflow.

Description

Microwave Office facilitates the design of various RF passive components, including filters, couplers, and attenuators, along with active devices functioning under small-signal (AC) conditions, such as low noise and buffer amplifiers. Its linear configuration allows for the simulation of S-parameters (Y/Z/H/ABCD), small-signal gain, linear stability, noise figure, return loss, and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), complemented by features like real-time tuning, optimization, and yield analysis. Each E-series Microwave Office portfolio encompasses synchronous schematic and layout editors, 2D and 3D viewers, and extensive libraries featuring high-frequency distributed transmission models, as well as surface-mount vendor component RF models complete with footprints. Additionally, it offers measurement-based simulations and RF plotting capabilities. Microwave Office PCB further enhances the design process by enabling both linear and nonlinear RF circuit design through the advanced APLAC HB simulator, which provides powerful multi-rate HB, transient-assisted HB, and time-variant simulation engines for comprehensive RF/microwave circuit analysis. This extensive toolset empowers engineers to push the boundaries of RF design and streamline their development workflows effectively.
