Ansys SiWave

Signal integrity, power integrity, and emi analysis

DRD Technology offers the full suite of Ansys high frequency electronic software to address all of your needs.  Ansys HFSS (High-Frequency Structure Simulator) is a highly specialized tool used for simulating and analyzing electromagnetic fields particularly good for:

Antenna Design and Analysis. Ansys HFSS excels in the design and optimization of antennas. It allows engineers to model various types of antennas, such as patch, dipole, and array antennas, and analyze their performance characteristics including radiation patterns, gain, and impedance.

RF and Microwave Components.  Ansys HFSS is used to design and evaluate components like filters, amplifiers, couplers, and mixers. Ansys HFSS offers the most accurate simulation capabilities on the market to help ensure that these components meet performance specifications and function correctly within a circuit.

Signal Integrity.  In high-speed digital circuits, maintaining signal integrity is crucial. Ansys HFSS can model and analyze the electromagnetic behavior of transmission lines, connectors, and PCB (printed circuit board) designs to predict and mitigate issues like signal degradation and interference.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).  Engineers use Ansys HFSS to evaluate and improve the EMC of electronic devices. This involves simulating how devices emit or are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), and designing solutions to minimize potential problems.

Advanced Materials and Metamaterials. Ansys HFSS is capable of simulating complex materials and structures, including metamaterials which have unique electromagnetic properties not found in nature. This is useful in designing devices like invisibility cloaks or advanced lens systems.

Wireless Communication Systems.  For wireless communication systems, Ansys HFSS can simulate and analyze the performance of systems operating at various frequencies, including 5G networks. It helps in optimizing the performance and integration of components such as antennas and waveguides.

Electromagnetic Wave Propagation.  Ansys HFSS can model how electromagnetic waves propagate through different media and structures. This includes analyzing waveguides, resonant cavities, and other high-frequency structures to ensure proper wave behavior and resonance.

Multi-Physics Simulations. It can be integrated with other Ansys tools to perform multi-physics simulations. For example, it can be coupled with thermal or structural analysis tools to evaluate how thermal effects or mechanical stresses impact the performance of high-frequency components.

Design Optimization.  Ansys HFSS includes optimization features that allow users to automatically adjust design parameters to meet specific performance criteria. This is particularly useful for refining designs to achieve the best possible performance within given constraints.

In summary, Ansys HFSS is a powerful tool for anyone involved in the design, analysis, and optimization of high-frequency electromagnetic systems, offering detailed insights into performance and behavior across a wide range of applications.
