AXIEM No bounds!(2010)
The latest version o AXIEM continues
to win new users and expand its mar-
ket presence. The AWR 2010 release
o AXIEM now has no bounds--literally!
Antenna capabilities are today part and
parcel o AXIEM and are quickly becom-
ing an indispensable tool or designers
o antennas.
AXIEM v2010 is ideal or large, planar,
antenna designs, or example, arrays
with a large number o elements. De-
signers can fnally study eects such as
scan blindness, which can only be seen
by simulating the ull array. Traditionally,
the matrix solve in planar EM solvers
is o the order N3, where N is the
number o unknowns. By comparison,
AXIEMs ast solver technology scales
as the order o Nln(N). So to illustrate,i a designer increases the number
o antennas by a actor o 10, the
traditional solver will take 1000 times
longer to simulate (think 1000 min-
utes), whereas AXIEM would only need
35 times to do it (think 35 minutes to
solve). Post processing eatures have
been added so that the user can visual-
ize traditional antenna pattern measure-
ments or linear, circular, and elliptical
polarizations, and current patterns onthe antennas.
In less than three years, AXIEM has
achieved wide customer adoption and
has benchmarked better than other EM
tools that have been on the market or
decades. This year AWR is taking the
AXIEM Challenge to Japan, a country
renown or pushing EM to the limit with
the toughest o design problems.

Customer Success Story
Customer Background
Acreo AB, Kista, Sweden, refnes and
transers research results into industrially
viable products and processes in the
felds o electronics and optics. With
operations in Kista, Norrkping, and
Hudiksvall, Acreo is active in printed
electronics, industrial nano and
microtechnology, photonics, quantum
well inrared photodetector (QWIP)
technology, sysem integration, and
relations business services.
ISO9001 certifed, Acreo operates
clean room acilities or thin-flm and
volume printing production. The company
employs more than 150 people, the
majority o whom hold engineering and
post-graduate level degrees.
The Design Challenge
The need or higher capacities within
Internet inrastructure is driving the
demand or network architectures capable
o supporting 100Gb/s Ethernet (IP)
based trafc.
One such bandwidth-efcient technology
being explored is sub-carrier multiplexing
(SCM), where quadrature modulated
(QAM) signals on dierent carrier
requencies are combined and
subsequently encoded onto an optical
carrier. This transceiver approach
capitalizes on the increasing speed o
silicon technology (65nm complementary
metal oxide semiconductor CMOS process
on HR-SOI substrate) to perorm more
o the signal processing in the electrical
domain beore converting to light.
AWR Solution
We needed to
create a SCM
transceiver
link suitable
or 100Gb/s
transmission.
The system-level
development o aSCM transceiver link
was modeled within
AWRs Visual System
Simulator. This
RF system model
enabled us to assess
the inuence o component perormance in the electrical domain, particularly
non-linearity and noise, with respect to the SCM link perormance requirements.
The design o critical component building blocks in the 65nm CMOS SOI process
such as IQ modulators, power combiners, and low noise amplifers (LNAs) or
the SCM transceiver, were done at the circuit level. The perormance o thesecomponents was then assessed in the VSS system simulation environment to
investigate the capabilities o CMOS or next generation optical networking with
the SCM architecture.
Using Visual System Simulator together with Matlab to create the RF system
model proved to be a straightorward task. said Lars Pettersson, research
engineer at Acreo. The exibility, ease-o-use, and open platorm o Visual
System Simulator was a very positive eature. Visual System Simulator gave a
good understanding o how group delay variations aected the whole system
perormance and we were able to optimize the system using this knowledge.
Acreo Uses Visual System Simulator to Successfully
Optimize System Performance of Complex UWB Transceiver
2-Carrier SCM transceiver link simulation block diagrams and
simulation results in Visual System Simulator.
VSS gives us a deeper
understanding of system aspects.
Its exibility and open platform
means parameter optimization can
quickly and easily be done. With
VSS we were able to successfully
realize our system.

Using AWRs ACE technology,
Multitest is able to accurately and
efciently simulate PCB interfaces
prior to fabrication. This gives our
customers the condence they
need before they even receive our
hardware.
Ryan Satrom, Signal Integrity EngineerMultitest

Customer Success Story
Customer Background
Multitest is one o the worlds leading
suppliers o test equipment or
semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs).
It markets test handlers, contactors, and
automatic test equipment (ATE) printed
circuit boards (PCBs), which are used
or the unctional test o individual chips.
They act as a mechanical and electrical
interace between the semiconductor
and the actual tester with the test
sotware. A high throughput rate,
measurement accuracy to the thousandth
o a millimeter, precision temperature
accuracy, and the latest in measurement
and production technology are all
important actors.
The Design Challenge
Multitests main customers are
multinational manuacturers o
semiconductors who insist on the highest
quality standards in their products.
In order to ensure this high quality,
the company provides its clients with
highly innovative test handling solutions,
custom-tailored to ft individual needs and
requirements. Because high throughput
rate and accuracy are critical, Multitest
uses AWRs Microwave Ofce with ACE
(automated circuit extraction) to simulate
and optimize its PCB designs simply,
accurately, and efciently.
AWR Solution
Microwave Ofce enabled us to readily
create libraries or several dierent PCB
stackups (various numbers o layers and
thicknesses) characterized previously in
3D EM. Within each o these libraries,
via models were linked to .s2p fles that
were simulated in a 3D simulator. Proper
via modeling (thru-hole and back-drilled)
is a critical component to accurate PCB
simulations. With the ACE technology
enabled within AWRs Microwave Ofce
sotware, we were able to leverage the
ease, simplicity, and efciency o ACE,and the Microwave Ofce user interace
or that matter, to successully simulate
any board desired while maintaining
appropriate via models as well.
AWRs Microwave Ofce sotware with
its ACE innovation simplifed a job that
used to take many hours into one that
is more streamlined -- completed in
signifcantly less time.
Microwave Ofce Software with ACE Technology Dramatically Cuts
Simulation Times of Multitests High-performance IC Test Boards
Why did you choose AWR?
We chose AWR sotware or several
reasons:
1) The user-riendly interace o the
sotware makes it easy to learn
2) PCB layout importing is
straightorward and robust
3) ACE is accurate and ast, giving us a
quick design turnaround
For these reasons and more, AWRs
Microwave Ofce eaturing ACE is a
winning combination or the design o
Multitests high-perormance PCB test
boards. Personally, Ive seen some
designs realize more than 50% saving in
simulation time (including set-up steps)
by adopting this methodology.
Analysis of routing strategy is
straightforward with ACE: if layout is
tuned, the RF model is automatically
updated and simulated. Image shows
Multitests test board routing layout
and simulation results.

The OpenWave Forum (OWF)
INTRODUCTION
The concept o using behavioral models
in nonlinear simulations has existed or
20 years or more but only recently hav
advances in measurement technology
(improved arbitrary signal generation
and sampling techniques) allowed
practical implementation to become
a reality. The OWF aims to ensureusability o these new models in large-
signal simulations, regardless o the
measurement and modeling techniques
that are used.
OWF BENEFITS
The OWF is an alliance o RF and
microwave frms that seek to
collaborate, create, and promote a
unifed and transparent data exchange
ormat or large-signal simulations,
measurements, and models.

Nonlinear Behavioral Models New Methods forNonlinear Device Characterization
Background
Linear and nonlinear device models are the building blocks o most RF and microwave
designs. S-parameters are oten used to represent linear devices. As a black-boxmodel, they can easily be obtained using a vector network analyzer and distributed
or simulation. S-parameters use superposition to equate the linear relationship
between incident and reected waves at all o the devices ports. Nonlinear devices,
however, distort waveorms such that their behavior cannot be represented through
superposition or S-parameters. Fortunately, recent developments in measurement and
modeling technology have ocused on technology-independent, measurement-based
black box models.
Current Approaches Presented at IMS
Agilent (IMS Booth #924)
Develops Agilents X-parameters, which are included in its N5242 nonlinear
vector network analyzer or large-signal measurements and Advanced Design
System sotware, and are applicable to large and small-signal conditions and or
linear and nonlinear components. X-parameters are a mathematical superset o
S-parameters and reduce to S-parameters in the small-signal region.
Anritsu & HFE Sagl (IMS Booth #2910)
Provide state-o-the-art active load pull tuners, ultra-low-loss couplers and
harmonic phase standard (HPS) designed to operate with the VectorStar VNA.
The nonlinear load pull system oers multiple behavioral analysis data including
polyharmonic inormation representing current and voltage waveorms under
large-signal conditions.
Rohde & Schwarz & NMDG (IMS Booth #2519)
Oer NMDGs ICE platorm that employs an R&S VNA (or VNAs and high
requency oscilloscopes rom other vendors) to characterize nonlinear
components under real lie signal conditions and to produce S-unction models.
These S-unctions accurately predict harmonic and modulation behavior o
the device under test and can be used within ICE or an external simulation
environment.
Tektronix & Mesuro (IMS Booth #1033)
Deliver a characterization system to provide polyharmonic IV tables using
arbitrary harmonic impedances. The data is used to populate the Cardi Model,
developed by Cardi University, providing an accurate behavioral model at powers
o hundreds o watts at microwave requencies.
Speak with AWR to learn more about these nonlinear behavioral modeling approaches
and Microwave Ofce compatibility. A complete white paper on this topic written by
AWRs Malcolm Edwards is available on www.awrcorp.com/mwo and more closely
examines the dierent nonlinear models and measurement systems available today
and how they can be used with Microwave Ofce, a leading high-requency design
environment rom AWR Corporation.
OPENWAVE FORUM
AWRS SUPPORT OF POLYHARMONIC DISTORTION AND
NONLINEAR BEHAVIORAL MODELS
Linear and nonlinear device models are the building blocks of most RF and
microwave designs. S-parameters are often used to represent linear devices. As a
black-box model, they can easily be obtained using a vector network analyzer and
distributed for simulation. S-parameters use superposition to equate the linear
relationship between incident and reflected waves at all of the devices ports.
Nonlinear devices, however, distort waveforms such that their behavior cannot be
represented through superposition or S-parameters.
Historically, nonlinear devices have been represented in simulation by compact
empirical or analytical SPICE models that operate in the time domain. Todays
high-frequency circuit simulators analyze the linear portions of the network in the
frequency domain and the nonlinear components in the time domain, resolving the
two through an iterative technique called harmonic balance.
The process of developing a compact model, be it empirical or analytical, is costly,
time consuming, and potentially exposes the device makers intellectual property.
More importantly, since most compact model parameters are extracted from
linear 50 ohm S-parameters and DC IV (static and pulsed) data, their ability to
predict behavior under extreme nonlinear conditions or non-50 ohm terminations
may be questionable. The cost of model development is not trivial, and the
resulting quality and availability varies among integrated device manufacturers.
This situation presents the high-frequency circuit designer with a bit of a dilemma.
Fortunately, recent developments in measurement and modeling technology have
focused on technology-independent, measurement-based black box models. This
white paper examines the different nonlinear models and measurement systems
available today and how they can be used with Microwave Office, a leading
high-frequency design environment from AWR Corporation.
CHARACTERIZING NONLINEAR DEVICES
Nonlinear models are most often used to describe the behavior of transistors,
including the large-signal regime where power amplifiers and mixers operate.
Large-signal computer models for devices are continually evolving in order to
keep up with changes in semiconductor technology. To attempt standardization
of model parameters used in different simulators, an industry working group
of semiconductor vendor companies and EDA vendor companies called the
Compact Model Council (CMC), has been formed to choose, maintain, and
promote the use of standard models. An elusive goal in such modeling is
prediction of next-generation circuit performance and the identification of
technical direction for developing models capable of such predictions.
This requires the selection of operating conditions that define the nonlinear
characteristics of devices, the nonlinear equations that replicate this behavior,
and extraction of the parameters to be used in these model equations. An
obvious alternative to using standard or evolving compact models to address the
next-generation of devices would be to simply use the measured data directly, as
is the case for S-parameters and linear devices.
