    What is more accurate HFSS or CST?

    hfss versus cst Guys, don't hit the nerve again. This Q has been discussed down here. Just use the search function of the forum and you'll bump it head on. cheng

    What are the advantages of Rabitcore?

    Re: what is Rabitcore Guys, saying that Rabbit CPU's are 16 bit is patently WRONG. Rabbit is a clone of Zilog's 180 series and do have 16 bit (in the new 4000 series also 32 bit registers) but is basically an 8 bitter. Period. They do have VERY GOOD IDE and debuggers, compilers etc. and it is...

    TTL to 3.3/2.5 voltage converter

    your best call is a digital switch - see NC7SZ384 for a single gate or P5C3244 for 8 switches. They are very good as level translators. Hope it helps.

    need advise on waveguides

    One book often overlooked, that I however found very good is Advanced Microwave Engineering - K. Balanis - NOT his Antenna's Textbook. The AME of Balanis is very pedagogical and explains wavegides in depth with a good rigor. Many other books consider WG from the point of view of one mathematical...

    how can i download a free,demo,trial version em simulator

    Re: how can i download a free,demo,trial version em simulato Most of the free "lite" versions of the EM tools do have limitations - most notably in size of the project in terms of mesh cells. You've seen Sonnet lite, you may also have a look at EM3DS Lite (www.memresearch.com), but I am afraid...

    Interfacing 3.3V microcontroller to a 5V devices

    bidirectional buffer 3.3 to 5v MAx series translators are rip off all the way. Been looking 20 times and find them prohibitively overpriced. Many other good alternatives exist.

    Interfacing 3.3V microcontroller to a 5V devices

    74hct244 examples The cheapest translator is probably the one used by Ian. My approach though is different. I use digital switch like 3244 and can convert to ANY level by using appropriate VCC and series diodes. And no penalty in speed. The other direction I found working good is to use HCT or...

    EM Simulation Webinars available online

    Hello. Been gone for a day and see that the discussion had shifted (as usual). Yes, Loucy you are correct - that is pretty much what the estimator is doing and I don't know the implementation either but it is how it works. To come back to the point of the topic if someone is interested I will...

    EM Simulation Webinars available online

    Yes, in EM3DS the asymptotic estimator, has nothing to do with interpolating data - (i.e. Y-parameters). It has to do with the Green kernel estimation and is why it needs a single freq point only to yield correct results. Besides that, in the newer version I have my hands on - there is a...

    EM Simulation Webinars available online

    The discussion on error analysis is certainly an interesting one and yet I want to relate it to something that is of even bigger importance (to me). This is what I call set-up "reproducibility". That is, how accurate one may lay the circuit on the bench and test (measure it). Many times the...

    Any good Book on Microwave Engineering

    best books of microwave engg. Your question seems to be very generic - microwave engineering is as broad of a topic as engineering itself and needs to be refined. It largely depends on what you need it for. If you re dealing with passives - then - what passives - transission lines or lumped? If...

    Zeland IE3D, Ansoft HFSS and CST comparison

    hfss to cst If one may say that in CST MWS one may use a single setup from 2-13 Ghz on strongly radiating structure - he has no clue of what PML is or he cares not about accuracy.

    EM simulator for folded P.A.T.C.H antenna

    em simulator linux demo loucy, I believe you are patently wrong. If someone is asking what is asking and you say that what he is asking he should not be asking you show great disrespect to the person. I don't know what makes you believe that Jian's comment is alright?? And I am serious about it...

    EM simulator for folded P.A.T.C.H antenna

    ads momentum antenna + pdf First, I think this guy had already tried IE3D and was asking for alternatives. (Jian, please read his post again and refrain from advertising your product as good as it may be). Second, what you are saying is that size is a major issue. If I understand well, you...
