    • Solutions PCB

    EMCoS PCB VLab supports several PCB analysis methods.

    Parasitics RLC Extraction
    EMCoS PCB VLab provides analysis tools for estimation of the parasitic effects on the printed circuit boards.

    RapidRLC solver included in EMCoS PCB VLab package calculates resistance, inductance and capacitance matrices for complex three-dimensional geometries and generates lumped equivalent circuit files in SPICE format. Generated parasitic circuit can be used further in EMC Studio system simulation analysis.

    Signal Integrity Analysis

    Consideration of parasitic parameters of PCB layout is critical for correct analysis of signal transmission. Signal Integrity Analysis is based on equivalent circuits supplemented with additional MTL subcircuits representing conductive paths on PCB. With voltage and current distribution plots on different terminals and eye diagramming EMCoS PCB VLab provides easy to use tool for estimation of actual PCB performance.

    Radiation Emission Analysis

    Radiation Analysis mode uses hybrid MTL-MoM approach for estimation of radiated fields. After layout extraction and circuit simulation, initial PCB layout is converted to simulation model compatible with MoM tool. Fullwave simulation provides accurate estimation of radiated emissions from PCB. Advanced post-processing includes analysis of EM fields in field probes, near field grids and 3D visualization of radiated fields.

    S-Parameters Extraction

    EMCoS PCB VLab supports direct extraction of scattering parameters (S-parameters) on PCB nets. This analysis mode can provide a valuable information about characteristics of PCB interconnects.
