Room: Beta 5

Filters & RF Passive Components with SIMULIA CST Studio Suite®

Chair: Theunis Beukman

Co-Chair: Carlos Vicente

Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, is a catalyst for human progress. We provide business and people with collaborative virtual environments to imagine sustainable innovations. By creating 'virtual twin experiences’ of the real world with our 3DEXPERIENCE platform and applications, our customers push the boundaries of innovation, learning and production. On top of that, SIMULIA, a brand of Dassault Systèmes, delivers realistic simulation applications that enable users to explore real-world behavior of product, nature and life.

Modern radio frequency (RF) front-end systems in both satellite and telecommunications require a multitude of filters to mitigate interference – especially with the increased use of carrier aggregation and demands on spectrum utilization. Furthermore, such systems have stringent power considerations such as efficiency, throughput of large RF signals or reliability; careful design and analysis are required in all of these cases.

SIMULIA CST Studio Suite® offers a wide range of solver technologies, synthesis tools and optimization algorithms. Join us in this technical workshop to explore the state-of-the-art in simulation for your RF applications.

New in CST Studio Suite®

(09:00-10:40)

We will show a range of significant features and functionality introduced in recent releases of SIMULIA CST Studio Suite®. To name a few: the non-parametric shape optimization, which revolutionizes the way we approach 3D models for EM; the new Eigenmode solver offers the ability to include lossy materials, boundaries and complex port terminations; sensitivities in general parametric models are available for tuning or optimization; coupled workflows in a single environment makes it easy to take both low- and high-frequency effects into account for ferrite devices.

Filter design

(11:20-13:00)

The design of filtering devices is challenging, and typically requires expert knowledge. At the same time, the process easily results in a multitude of repetitive tasks and trials. To ease this burden and make it more accessible to even less experienced designers, SIMULIA CST Studio Suite® offers advanced technologies with Filter Designer 3D for the synthesis, modelling and optimization of RF filters. Advanced techniques, based on the coupling matrix and ladder circuits, allow the extraction of filter parameters and thus opens the door to design complex 3D geometries efficiently. This also includes the newly added functionality for lowpass/highpass filters.

Passive components & feed networks

(14:20-16:00)

Diplexers and multiplexers require a complicated design process. We will show how to simplify this procedure by making use of our specific tools and workflows. In particular, Fest3D for waveguide-based components can greatly speed up the design of multiplexers. Similarly, Filter Designer 3D is able to design diplexers directly and speed up the design of multiplexers regardless the technology they are implemented in.

Also, a non-parametric optimization strategy, combining CST Studio Suite® and Tosca, will be presented for the optimization of various components in an antenna feed chain. This is a key workflow to take profit of all the advantages that additive manufacturing present.

High power components

(16:40-18:00)

Many different applications require the use of high power levels. Some examples are base stations, satellite communication systems, electronics, etc. CST Studio Suite® environment provides different tools and solvers to deal with specific aspects of high power components such as thermal effects, fluid flow analysis, stress and deformation analysis or RF breakdown.

We will show some use cases such as RF breakdown analysis in filters with Spark3D or water-cooled devices for which one uses the Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) solver within CST Studio Suite®.
