µWAVE SOLUTION
SEMCAD X Matterhorn μWave Solution combines advanced 3D EM solvers based on the FDTD technique with a mode-matching (MM) solver for analysis of microwave and millimeter-wave waveguide devices. Many composite waveguide strurctures have already been succesfully analyzed with the MM technique combined with the generalized scattering matrix (GSM), the latest cutting-edge analysis tool in the microwave industry.
New state-of-the-art solvers based on the MM technique are optimized for the efficient and accurate analysis of composite waveguide device design problems.
The MM solvers have been validated by comparison with measurement data.
Extensive CAD import interfacing (.sat, .stl, .dws, .iges, .3ds, .step, ProEngineer, etc.) enables the easy processing of more complicated structures with coupling/tuning screws and any changes in geometry due to fabrication.
