AWR AXIEM EM Simulator

AXIEM is a 3D planar method-of-moments (MoM) EM analysis simulator targeting microwave / RF electronic product design. It addresses passive structures, transmission lines, large planar antennas, and patch arrays. It is based on integral formulations of Maxwell's equations. AWR AXIEM analysis delivers the accuracy, capacity, and speed designers need to characterize and optimize passive components on RF PCBs, modules, LTCCs, MMICs, RFICs, and antennas.
It solves currents on horizontal metal layers and vertical vias separated by a planar dielectric layer. The EM Simulator has flexible port options, which support different options for the ground reference and interior or edge placement of ports.

The advanced hybrid meshing technology meshes surface of metals using triangles and rectangles for thick and thin metal structures. The reduced number of mesh cells leads to a very efficient simulation with a combination of high capacity and speed. The unique MoM solver algorithm scales on the order of N*log(N), as opposed to the N³ used by most existing MoM products. This technology provides accurate and robust results to frequencies down to DC, which is essential for obtaining the right bias conditions and setting the DC operating points for active structures.

Through the proprietary AWR Unified Data Model (UDM), AXIEM is seamlessly integrated into circuit and system simulation as well as circuit layout and circuit verification. This saves time and delivers accurate and efficient results very quickly.
