White Papers

By Doug Reed, Spirent Communications

When simulating a complete subsystem such as a wireless communication device or radar receiver, the quality of measurement data becomes essential to ensure that the finished product meets or exceeds the demands the system will encounter in service.

This white paper, written by EM expert Dr. John Dunn, demonstrates the importance of correctly selecting and assigning “ground” within EM simulators and how it is essential for successfully predicting the performance of board, package, and their associated interconnects.

Understanding Available Tools for RF System-in-Package and Multi-Chip-Module Design and Optimization

Transim white paper

In building a strategy for effective integrated-circuit design, it is important to understand the characteristics of different RF and microwave printed beam forming networks (BFN). Optimization of the design process for BFN can reduce unnecessary costs and design iterations, thus allowing designers time to improve the quality of the product. The design process includes various stages from analysis of requirements to final design documentation, balancing and trading off factors such as electrical performance, size, cost, etc.
