Benchmark MEE 1997

The dual mode filter was developed, measured, and simulated by ESA (European Space Agency). It shows a narrow transmission band around 11 GHz. The reflection in this band is below 20 db. CST was the only company who was able to predict the correct behaviour. Below 20 db an agreement is nearly impossible as the structure is highly sensitive to smallest changes (see measurement and simulation by ESA itself). FE-codes were not able to predict any realistic result.

RFID Reader-Coil, 13.56 MHz
Radio Frequency Identification Systems (RFID) are widely used and allow advanced solutions for a variety of applications in the area of authentication, ticketing, access control, supply management, parking, payment, vending,etc. The example presented here is a RFID Readercoil "P81" from Legic Ident Systems and was modeled and solved using the frequency domain solver of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (CST MWS). The sensitivity of the computed complex input impedance with respect to substrate tolerances is computed and was compared to measurement data. Read full article..

Signal Integrity (SI) analysis with CST PCB STUDIO™
This article highlights the modeling and simulation of signal integrity effects with CST PCB STUDIO™ (CST PCBS). It explains how the technology (layer stackup) can be determined and which modeling options are available. Since SI investigations require significant driver and receiver models, so-called IBIS models are used for the simulation. IBIS is short for I/O Buffer Information Specification and a standard used by many IC manufacturers. Using IBIS models avoids having to creating handmade loads in the schematic and therefore eases the simulation setup process and automatically increases accuracy. Read full article..
