    hfss error: unable to recover surface triangles

    Most likely HFSS can't build mesh properly around your object. there are some object that are too small and complex to build the tet around. try avoid sharp narrow egdes which at time won't contribute too much to end result. HFSS v10 has healing feature which can eliminate this problem

    Ansoft HFSS Question - Lumped Components

    hfss combine designer For black box approach, I don't think it can be done. However, there is an option with HFSS + Ansoft Designer combination. You need to set up ports at the point where you have lumped component in HFSS. Like capacitor case, at the pad to GND. Let say you name this port...

    how to use HFSS to simulate such structure??

    If i understand you correctly, Looks like you can set-up airbox sorrounding the 10x10cm plate and assign waveport at the coax-feed where it is connected to the split. At the receive side, use lumped port from 1mm width metal to another metal at the bottom, assuming you are using this as GND...

    How can we restore a boundary surface with HFSS v9?

    Re: hfss Nasrou, May be if you can give more details to your problem, we all can help.

    Best SI tool for Package analysis

    For low freq (1GHz) we are using Q3D to extract the model and proceed to Hspice for SI analysis For higher freq, HFSS is used to model the package and same Hspice for SI Analysis. Latest trend/development in Ansoft Designer makes it a good alternative for full path simulation i.e. when...

    i was a RF fresh man, some questions about RF

    PLL is not the easiest subject to learn. However, you can start by reading some reputable text book like analog design by Razavi and Thomas Lee to begin with. Hajimiri wrote one PLL book but this one for more advanced user. Go to UCLA ICSL website. Used to have lots of paper on PLL but...

    conversion of mech eng files into Ansoft Q3D

    I have some objects created in mechanical engineering software like Pro Eng or AutoCad that needs to be modeled in Q3D as 3D object for electrical model extraction. Anybody has done this before? Is there a special version of AnsoftLinks that allows this kind of conversion. thanks.

    Guidelines for RF PCB design in range of 200 MHz - 1 GHz

    Re: RF PCB design 1. Shield clock, noisy signals 2. Partition your block. 3. Simulate your circuit. 4. Calculate trace width before layout. 5. Be careful with different power supply ground return. In general, all high speed/RF/microwave design guidelines need to be taken into consideration.

    Deciding the width of Trace

    I would use 8 mil myself also for that much current. Typical width for current technology.

    What make military spec IC so expensive?

    test is more stringent, reliability factor, higher grade silicon, radiation hardened environment requirement, less user compared to commercial, etc

    Where can I get info about FDTD (C code for 2-D)?

    Re: FDTD Google search will do wonders. i have a paper on this but needs some time to locate it. I will post it soon once I found it. I found that paper while I was looking for info on FMM

    Which is a better reference for Microwave Design: Collin or Pozar?

    Re: Collin vs. Pozar Pozar too. Collins book is much older and Pozar refers to him a lot too.

    How to design analog circuit desiging

    you can learn to simulate easy circuits on solver like MWO which is easier to learn for beginner or even PSpice.

    Low Power (uW) Analog CMOS IC Design

    leakage current for 90nm process is 100nA per transistor. for big chip like prescott that has 152million transistor, that counts for 15.2mA just for leakage current.
