RF PCB Toolbox
RF PCB Toolbox™ provides functions and apps for designing, analyzing, and visualizing high-speed and RF multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs). You can model coupling, dispersion, losses, and DC performance using electromagnetic analysis techniques such as the frequency-domain Method of Moments and the Finite Element Method. Fast frequency sweeps enable efficient electromagnetic analysis across broadband frequency ranges.
Designers of RF boards, MMICs, and SiPs can use a library of layout primitives and parameterized components, such as traces, filters, couplers, and vias, to predict PCB performance and generate Gerber files. Integration with RF Blockset™ allows wireless system architects to perform simulation and performance verification of end-to-end communications and radar systems.
The toolbox works with PCB and package database formats, including ODB++, Cadence® Allegro®, and others, enabling signal integrity engineers to analyze high-speed PCB layouts.
