Pointing RFIDs in the Right Direction - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V12 I2

Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags provide a superior level of inventory management, asset tracking and supply chain management over barcode technology, which requires barcodes to be within sight of the reader. RFID technology can be more broadly applied and becomes increasingly accurate by boosting the range at which tags can be read. Engineers at Honeywell leveraged ANSYS HFSS electromagnetic field simulation software to improve upon current RFID systems. Using HFSS, they were able to virtually evaluate new concepts in less time, significantly reducing product development lead time.

5G Antenna Technology for Smart Products - Article - ANSYS Advantage - V12 I2

The dramatic rise of smart, connected products requires a rapidly increasing communications bandwidth, but the radio frequency spectrum available is growing at a much slower pace than what is needed. One way the fifth generation of cellular wireless technology, 5G, can address this problem is by leveraging beamforming antennas to send different signals to different areas of the cellular network, enabling multiple simultaneous transmissions at the same time on the same frequency. Pivotal Commware is designing the next generation of these beamforming antennas or cellular base stations and other applications, at a fraction of the cost of existing methods. The company’s engineers use ANSYS HFSS to create antenna designs that meet design requirements on the first or second pass, substantially reducing the time required to bring new antennas to market in this highly competitive industry.

EMI/EMC Workflows in Ansys HFSS

Simulation of electromagnetic interference (EMI)/electromagnetic computability (EMC) may require analysis of complex systems, including many aspects of signal integrity, power integrity and RF. This presentation introduces automated workflows and templates available in HFSS for EMI/EMC simulations. These workflows will allow users to easily identify design flaws that can lead to potential EMI issues, providing a unique capability to quickly build a full virtual compliance environment.

Based on the proven HFSS solver and gold standard in simulation, the capability represents the next generation of solver technology.

A Review of HPC Technologies in Ansys HFSS

HFSS is constantly being improved for faster simulation speeds. Learn more about HFSS enhancements using high-performance computing (HPC) technologies, including matrix multi-processing, parallel frequency points for rapid extraction of SYZ parameter models and the ground-breaking domain decomposition method (DDM) that scales up simulations by orders of magnitude and more.

Ansys HFSS at Chip-Scale: RaptorH and ECADExplorer

Higher data rates combined with low supply voltage present new signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) challenges, such as the design of 3D interposers with through-silicon vias (TSVs). Ansys offers two workflows for fast 3D HFSS extraction to ensure SI and PI in complex IC design: 1) ECADXplorer, designed for typical electromagnetics engineers comfortable working in the Ansys Electronics Desktop environment and 2) the newly introduced RaptorH product, for radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) designers who are experienced working in IC layout environments. Watch this presentation to learn about new tools and workflows that make 3D HFSS extraction of complex IC-based designs simple, fast and accurate.
