  1. Introduction to High Frequency Structure Simulator Pengcheng Jia

  2. Background • Introduced from 90s • Simulation tool for complex 3 D geometries • Using Finite Element Method • Adaptive Mesh generation & refinement • 2 Main Vendors—Agilent & Ansoft • Merger from May 1 • Transfer to Ansoft HFSS after Nov. 1, 2001

  3. Requirement & Resources • HFSS consume tremendous memory if fine result is needed • 300M+ Memory and 400M+ processor is recommended • Floating License Key within ECEWIN2K subnet • Remote access to new Scully which has 1 G RAMBUS400 Memory and 1.7G P4 processor

  4. Agilent HFSS

  5. Ansoft HFSS

  6. Features(1) • Computes s-parameters and full-wave fields for arbitrarily-shaped 3D passive structures • Powerful drawing capabilities to simplify design entry • Field solving engine with accuracy-driven adaptive solutions • Powerful post-processor for unprecedented insight into electrical performance

  7. Features(2) • Advanced materials • Model Library-including spiral inductors • Model half, quarter, or octet symmetry • Calculate far-field patterns • Wideband fast frequency sweep • Create parameterized cross section models- 2D models

  8. Applications • Antennas • Microwave transitions • Waveguide components • RF filters • Three-dimensional discontinuities • Passive circuit elements

  9. Procedure to simulate • Open or Make new project • Draw objects • Assign material property • Define boundary conditions • Solve • Display result
