Layout an RF Design in about an hour?!! Sure !!
Layout any RF or Microwave design with full intelligence on all parts, all the time.
A set of software tools for the unique graphical and electrical requirements of radio frequency (RF) / Microwave / Wireless printed circuit boards and ceramic substrates. Specialized Functions Dramatically Reduce Layout time. Savings Of Up To 90% in Design Time Have Been Achieved.
Key Features Include:
-
RF vias are made with additional vias as shields around the signal via using parametric controls
-
Length tuning of net lengths using arcs, accordion or trombone tuners
-
Microwave chamfers are auto created with a single pick using the Tchamfer command
-
Via peppering at any pitch with staggered option and suppression under components places thousands of ground plane vias in seconds
-
Compatibility with Agilent - ADS, Ansoft - HFSS, Applied Wave Research - MWO and other simulators for a seamless design solution (over 100 identical parts made in our system to match ADS and MWO parts) See our Third Party Links Page
-
All custom geometries made with boundaries are supported by full connectivity (LVS) and DRC checks
-
Fully flexible plane generation has no limitations

Automate the creation of complex embedded circuits with:
-
Parametric generation of imbedded circuits, Dividers, couplers, spiral inductors, radial stubs, etc.
-
Any footprint can be made with any shape
-
Via peppering makes via arrays connecting identical plane nets, on multiple layers and automatically removes vias that would connect to the wrong net
-
Path tuning for phased array antennas
-
Support for embedded components and circuits inside blocks
-
Full net list (LVS) and DRC checking functionality on any shape and at any hierarchical level
-
Creates coplanar ground shields with coplanar vias, even on arced entities automatically
-
Automatic placement of all ground ties on SMT parts, on all layers and nets with automatic tie segment / via reduction based on DRC results
-
Boundary ground planes with progressively filleted corners and variable individual gap control on every entity
-
Users have told us that our Boundary Plane generation software is the best available
-
Unlimited geometries and accuracy 10 -10 in any units system
-
Automatic placement of all ground ties on through hole parts, on all layers, with automatic tie spoke deletion based on DRC results
-
Split plane edges are automatically generated from simple easy to draw dividers
