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.

This article demonstrates the simulatenous excitation of arbitrary waveforms at a number of different ports. A noise source in the form of a loop circuit is place above an IC package and the influence of the noise source on the transmission of differential signals in the IC feed tranmssion lines is investigated. Two frequency ranges were simulated, 1-10 GHz and 1-20 GHz. The simulations were carried out using the simultaneous excitation feature in CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (CST MWS).

New, compact configurations for RF/microwave bandstop and lowpasss filters are presented. Compact footprints are achieved by folding the transmission lines in a microstrip platform. The effect of mutual coupling between the transmission lines, curved line sections, interconnecting lengths of the sections are taken into account to obtain the network parameters for the folded line filters. The folded line filters have practical dimensions for a wide range of electrical specifications, making physical implementation realizable. The filter designs have been validated by using full wave 3D EM simulation using CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®, as well as by comparison with the measurements. The new designs presented should prove useful for a host of embedded passive and RFIC applications in the 1-10 GHz range.

This article deals with the simulation of the voltage drop for complex power delivery networks. Such a simulation is useful to the design engineer in order to ensure power integrity. With the help of the CST EM STUDIO™ stationary current solver the 3D distribution of the potential and current density on all layers of a complex PCB board can be easily determined. The static IR-Drop simulation is the primary focus in this article but a dynamic simulation would also be possible in CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®.
