Note: Model number
E8921 has been discontinued;
however, the Momentum 3D Planar EM Simulator feature/capability is now included
in the W2341
Momentum G2 Element.
The information below is for reference only.
Momentum is a 3-D planar
electromagnetic (EM) simulator used for passive circuit analysis. It accepts
arbitrary design geometries (including multi-layer structures) and accurately
simulates complex EM effects including coupling and parasitics. Accurate EM
simulation enables RF/MMIC designers to improve passive circuit performance and
increases confidence that the manufactured product will function as
simulated.
Momentum RF is a second solver
technology within the Momentum EM engine that reduces simulation time without
sacrificing accuracy on large structures under a half wavelength.
Because Momentum is an integrated component in the Advanced Design System
(ADS) design flow, simulation setup times are reduced, and design productivity
is increased.
Product Highlights
- Full wave EM solver accounts for full dispersion and radiation.
- Quasi-static EM solver for faster modeling of larger circuits from DC to a
half wavelength.
- Fully-integrated with ADS Layout environment.
- "Edge mesh" for improved behavioral characterization of current crowding in
high frequency signals.
- Adaptive frequency sampling (AFS) provides the greatest frequency sweep
resolution with a minimal number of actual solved frequencies.
- Available sidewalls simulation (waveguide mode) to model the effects of
placing a circuit near a package sidewall.
- Incorporates box resonance mode to model package effects and discover if box
resonance occurs anywhere in the frequency range of interest.
- Generates the DC operating point with S-parameters for circuit simulations
that need bias flowing to an active device.
- Fully automated EM design optimization with Momentum Optimization
add-on.
- 3D visualization and current animation capabilities with
