3D Component Technology for 3D EM Simulations
o Bridges circuit designers to 3D EM simulation space o Augments ADS 2D layout drawing into 3D EM space for packages o Two types of 3D components
ADS default 3D components Custom Parameterized 3D components
ADS Default 3D Components
Custom Parameterized 3D Components EMPro Platform ADS Platform
EMPro Workshop Version 2.0 8
You Can Build Custom 3D Component Library for ADS Circuit/EM Co-Simulations
o Build a set of custom 3D component library for ADS
Very useful library when a package is often combined with a layout Makes dynamic EM simulations for package plus layout a lot easier Multiple packages can be added to the package 3D EM component design kit
ADS 3D EM Package Component Custom Library
