Planar EM Analysis

Cadence® AWR® AXIEM® 3D planar method-of-moments (MoM) electromagnetic (EM) analysis simulator addresses passive structures, transmission lines, large planar antennas, and patch arrays. AWR AXIEM analysis delivers the accuracy, capacity, and speed designers need to characterize and optimize passive components on RF PCBs, modules, LTCCs, MMICs, RFICs, and antennas.

The AXIEM Advantage

Integrated

Perform in-situ analysis/design verification to fully characterize RF/microwave devices and ensure design success

Fast

Proprietary full-wave planar, open-boundary MoM technology provides discrete- and fast-frequency sweeps

Accurate

Automatic adaptive meshing with advanced-hybrid meshing technology ensures reliable results

Features at a Glance

  • Extract – Schematic-driven EM extraction technology/design flow

  • Layout/Drawing Editor – 2D and 3D views with shape modifiers/de-featuring

  • MoM Solver – Proprietary full-wave planar, open-boundary MoM technology

  • Meshing Technology – Automatic advanced-hybrid adaptive meshing

  • Sources – Numerous excitation ports

  • Visualization – Field visualization, as well as results post-processing

  • Parametric Studies – Optimization, tuning, and yield analysis

  • High-Performance Computing (HPC) – Multi-core configurations and asynchronous simulation 

Applications

Passives

Characterize MMIC and RFIC on- and off-chip passive components such as interdigitated capacitors and spiral inductors. These components can easily be rendered in the 2D layout editor and parameterized for scaling, tuning, and optimization.
