Location: Los Angeles, CA
http://www.mclabs.com/facilities/los_angeles.aspx
Date: October 7th - 9th
Time: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Course Agenda:
New in Version 8.0:
- Using the new user interface (UI)
- Understanding the new EM interface - featuring AXIEM™
- Expanded power amplifier measurements, including HotS22 and IP3
- In depth coverage of equations, and output equations
Day 1: An Overview of Microwave Office
- The Microwave Office Environment
- Simulation methods overview: linear, harmonic balance, and time domain
- Design methodology: the overall design process in Microwave Office: the interaction between schematic, layout, and circuit and electromagnetic simulation
- Linear circuit simulation: the working details of using Microwave Office for linear circuit design; an extended linear amplifier design is used
Day 2: Circuit Simulation and Introduction to Layout
- Non-linear circuit simulation: using the harmonic balance method for nonlinear circuits in Microwave Office
- A power amplifier example is used to illustrate common measurements.
- Equations and output Equations
- Tuning, optimization, and yield analysis
- Layout overview: how layout works in Microwave Office
Day 3: Using Layout and EM Simulation
