W2341EP Datasheet, PDF (2/2 Pages) Keysight Technologies – The Leading 3D Planar EM Simulator

The Momentum simulator engine is
delivered in multiple design flows.
Momentum for use with Advanced
Design System (ADS)
With ADS, Momentum is provided
in almost all of the key product
bundles. For more information, refer
to the ADS Product Structure and
Options webpage.
The two key ADS elements related to
Momentum are:
–– W2341 Momentum G2 Element
–– W2343 Momentum Turbo Element
Momentum G2 requires the W2321
Layout Element as the 2D drawing
environment.
Momentum for use with Genesys
With Genesys, Momentum is
integrated into an EM block provided
in several key Genesys bundles:
–– W1325BP Genesys Core,
Synthesis, EM Bundle
–– W1327BP Genesys Core,
Synthesis, Circuit, EM Bundle
–– W1328BP Genesys Core, Synthesis,
Circuit, System, EM Bundle
Momentum for use with
Cadence Virtuoso
The Momentum G2 Element
integrates seamlessly into the
Cadence® Virtuoso platform. It
requires at a minimum a license
for the Cadence Virtuoso Layout
supporting either IC51 or IC61.
Use Momentum Turbo to quickly analyze large
planar phased-array antennas through multi-
threaded parallel simulation with optimized
NlogN algorithm and adaptive frequency sweep.
The Momentum Simulator includes:
–– Method of Moments 3D planar
electromagnetic simulator
engineered for speed and
capacity through advanced
NlogN solver technology.
–– Multi-threaded simulation for
additional speed.
Visualization of surface currents and
planar atenna radiation in 3D space.
–– Sophisticated post processing of
S-parameters and other data.
–– User selectable microwave full-
wave or faster RF quasi-static
mode EM simulation.
–– Adaptive frequency sweep to
automatically and quickly find all
resonant frequencies across the
full simulation frequency band.
–– Arbitrary polygonal meshing
with adaptive mesh reduction
for optimal speed, accuracy, and
capacity.
–– Frequency-dependent dielectric
loss model.
–– Advanced conductor surface
roughness model.
–– Efficient bond wire model.
–– Efficient via model.
–– Thick metal analysis.
–– Co-simulation with circuit
simulators in ADS and Genesys.
The following additional capabilities
are included with Momentum in ADS
–– Advanced Model Composer
to create custom parameterized
EM-based component libraries
for fast simulation and
optimization.
–– Optimization of parameterized
geometries together with circuit
and system components.
–– Layout look-alike symbols
in schematic for error free
hookup with circuit or system
components.
–– SI/PI Analyzer with easy setup of
netbased, connection-oriented
simulations for signal and power
integrity.
–– Post-processing with excitations
extracted from circuit simulation.
Momentum Turbo Element details:
Available for use with Momentum in
ADS, Momentum Turbo accelerates
the simulation of Momentum G2
through parallel computing on a
compute cluster. This is especially
useful for large simulations requiring
many frequency samples, such as
complex boards or packages for
signal integrity applications.
–– One Momentum Turbo Element
allows distributing a frequency
sweep over up to eight nodes of a
computer cluster.
–– Multiple Turbo Element licenses
can be stacked to go over eight
nodes in parallel.
–– Requires separate compute
cluster management system such
as LSF or SGE.
–– Requires Momentum G2 in ADS
as the master simulator.
Unlike other planar stand-alone EM
simulators with restrictive
rectangular grid meshes or socket-
based integration with inconsistent
user interfaces, Momentum G2 and
Momentum Turbo provide the most
efficient and fastest 3D planar EM
simulation capability.
Integrated into ADS, Genesys, and
Cadence Virtuoso, Momentum helps
you to consistently deliver optimal
designs at peak efficiency.
