COmparison of RF Tools
AWR Microwave Office
CST Microwave and PCB Studio
Mentor Hyperlnx
what will be your choice what is the best and worst side of this three tools
thanks in advance
PADS should be fine up to 6GHz, I remember I used it for designing a 5.6 GHz front-end layout.
Better choice for microwaves layout and circuit design would be AWR MWO. The standard version of AWR offers 2D EM layout simulation.
thanks vfone I also want to ask one thing . can AWR simulate power integrity and if yes how
thanks in advance
What type of circuits you involve into ? Analog/RF/Microwave or High Speed Digital ?
Regarding to signal type, the solution will be different..
I have 10 layer rf pcb which is design with using Mentor PADS. RF PCB include RF part up to 6 GHz digital part up to Gbps and power parts
I want to simulate analyse
First question is how can I import Mentor PADS document into the AWR without using DXF,GDSII and Gerber(I mean mentor create asc file is ther any method to import mentor pads file into the awr with using asc file). General question is most efficient import/export way between MEntor PADS and AWR Microwave Office
Secon one is
Signal Integrity
Power Integrity
Voltage drops
COnstellation and eye diagram analysis
How can I make those analysis or is AWR capable of the analyze all of them
thanks in advance vfone
