Taiyo Yuden Offers Free Downloadable Ansoft Designer v1.1 RF Component Library and High-Precision S-Parameter Files.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2003 Powerful New Design Tools Are Free at www.t-yuden.com Taiyo Yuden (U.S.A.) Inc. announced today the immediate availability of major new design tools, offered free of charge on the Taiyo Yuden Web site (www.t-yuden.com) to designers of wireless local area networks (WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network ), car navigation See GPS. systems, base stations, cellular handsets and other electronic equipment. On its Web site, Taiyo Yuden now offers free device models of its advanced surface-mount components in the RF Component Library for use with Ansoft Designer(TM) v1.1, the industry's leading electronic design automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) simulation tool. In addition, S-Parameter data files used in the simulation of high-frequency circuits are also available for download at no charge. Both new tools offer greater accuracy in product characterization and significant potential time savings to engineers by helping to reduce prototype cycles and design time. Taiyo Yuden developed the RF Component Library in partnership with Ansoft Corp. for use with Ansoft Designer v1.1, a fully integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for , system and electromagnetic field electromagnetic field Property of space caused by the motion of an electric charge. A stationary charge produces an electric field in the surrounding space. If the charge is moving, a magnetic field is also produced. A changing magnetic field also produces an electric field. simulator capable of highly precise, integrated analysis of analog, digital, high frequency wave, micro wave and light communications performance parameters. Available on CD or at www.t-yuden.com, the simulation library allows designers to search for components by name, performance data or other specification. Key Taiyo Yuden surface-mount components offered in the simulation library include capacitors, ferrite beads and multi-layer inductors. Models include the company's industry leading high-frequency inductors with excellent Q values
Q values are the difference of energies of the parent nuclides to the daughter nuclides. and its ultra small 0402 and 0201 components with very tight dimension tolerances that are ideal for high-density mounting applications. Each component offers distinctive features for enhanced accuracy and simulation speed, utilizing high-precision S-Parameter data based on Taiyo Yuden's advanced characterization lab. Additionally, each component can be represented by a frequency-dependent equivalent circuit up to four times faster than before simply by toggling the component's model attribute. Low-cost PC-based simulation tools have proven indispensable in shortening development times of high-frequency circuits found in cellular phones, wireless LANs and other devices. Analogous to frequency response functions, complex scattering parameters Scattering parameters or S-parameters are properties used in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and communication systems engineering describing the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks when undergoing various steady state stimuli by small signals. , or S-Parameters, are used to characterize high-frequency networks, in place of lower-frequency characterization models that no longer work. S-Parameters not only describe device behavior under linear conditions at microwave frequencies, they allow designers to extrapolate extrapolate - extrapolation other performance parameters using standard equations. S-Parameter accuracy is paramount for precisely characterizing circuit performance and minimizing development cycle times. Utilizing enhanced-accuracy S-Parameters, Taiyo Yuden's high-frequency measurement technology produces extremely narrow deviations between simulated data and actual measurements in high-frequency circuit design, thus reducing unnecessary prototype cycles and speeding time to market by as much as 75%.
