    "Starting when shaking/falling" device, for hardware system

    So, I am not the first one to think about it... :grin: That's exactly what I am looking for. THX

    "Starting when shaking/falling" device, for hardware system

    Hi all, I am looking for some piece of hardware, quite easy to describe but quite tricky to find. The idea is to activate some electronic hardware with a hard shake. I was looking for some actuator with a conductive ball, but it's working with no force: just turning the device uspide down start...

    Folded antenna + balun : matching question

    Dear all, I have a question about matching a printed folded dipole. I am working at 2.45GHz My antenna is connected to a 50 ohms /50 ohms balun, then connected to a 2-ports VNA, for s11 evaluation. At the frequency of interest, the impedance is Z; is this the impedance of the antenna seen from...

    4-ports differential S parameters to Z parameters

    Dear all, It is quite messy in my head ! I am trying to reconnect S-parameters to Z-parameters; for a 2 ports system, it is quite easy. But for a 4 ports system, I must admit I am not so confident ! Do you have some ressources talking about this kind of task? Thanks a lot for your help Regards

    Computer configurations for best HFSS performance

    As drkirkby said, the amount of RAM depends of the complexity of your system. But you should be aware that increasing memory doesn't decrease linearly the computation time. There are some tricks to reduce the memory needs, like taking advantages of symmetries, splitting the structure into...

    Collisions in RF Multiple Access network without feedback

    Dear all, I am asking myself about a rudimentary communication scheme... worse than ALOHA, because without ACK send back to the TX. The system is simple: some TX and one RX Each TX has send a frame at a low duty-cycle, randomly, during a period T, then repeat (sending a frame randomly during...

    [ADS][Momentum] Differents S-param results between MoM and Design simulations

    Just a basic question, I guess... If I simulate with Momentum a planar structure, like a spiral inductor, I obtain a sheet containing all magnitude and phase for each S-parameter: let's call this MoM_Results Now, from this MoM simulation, creating a component and using it in ADS, loading with...

    [Antenna][Drawing tip requested] Stacking 2 spiral inductors for enhacing inductance

    Hi, I am just asking myself if it is possible to stack 2 planar circular spiral inductors, with respect of the current direction, and with the minimum overlay. If I start from the outside of the first coil to the center, and switch from this first coil to the other, the current flows the...

    [Help needed] FastCap: capacitance extraction

    Dear all, I am looking for some help about using FastCap. At the moment I am able to work with the software, but I miss a little experiments about refining simulation (groundplanes, interfaces and so on...) If you have some knowledges about it, please do not hesitate to keep me in touch...

    Momentum: port positioning problem

    Dear all, I am working on a simple model of differential coupled line. There are 2 tracks of metal on a FR-4 substrate, with ground layer. The goal is to put excitation not at the edge of the track, but as a touching probe, inside the conductor. I am trying to compare results from 2...

    Peltier element that is cold on both sides

    The principle of Peltier plate is "one side cold, one side hot". So if you stack two plates, you've got your answer. But how would you deal with the heat ? ;) Regards

    i have a question about Microwave Engineering

    So, you're complaining why other people work, and not you ? Experimenting is the best way to learn, only the basis are in the books. So if you still read books, fine, but you cannot really "face" the problem. Engineering is a matter of skill, but also tricks: use your brain, think, ask other...
