ELECTROMAGNETIC 3D SOLVER EMI test case: coupling between a strip in the PCB and a wire travelling in the larger box. Range 10-50MHz Larger Box Trace in the PCB FR4 Inner Box External wire Not only microwaves: EMI and RF problems

Electromagnetic modeling Purpose: evaluate the electromagnetic field distribution across “planar” and “quasi-planar” structures when a sinusoidal electrical signal is applied somewhere -the point of excitation is a “port” What planar means: a structure which is entered layer-by-layer, as common in semi-conductor technology: e.g. microchips, printed circuit boards, microelectromechanical devices

Components Directional coupler: designed for application in the mobile phone market
