The Agilent FEM simulator element provides full wave 3D electromagnetic simulation capabilities to both EMPro and the Advanced Design System (ADS). ADS is the only design simulation platform that enables the co-design of IC, package, and board in high-frequency and high-speed applications. It seamlessly integrates system, circuit, and full 3D electromagnetic simulation with Agilent’s test instrumentation, resulting in repeatable, fi rst-pass electronic design success. FEM simulator is Agilent’s second-generation, fi nite-element method (FEM), 3D electromagnetic simulator. It is integrated into the ADS design fl ow to enable seamless co-simulation of arbitrary 3D structures such as connectors, wirebonds, and packaging with circuit and system components. This allows effects of 3D components previously diffi cult or tedious to include in a design simulation to be naturally accounted for without leaving the circuit design fl ow. It is especially convenient for RF module designs where 3D interconnects and packaging must be simulated along with the circuit.
