(June 3, 2008) ST. LOUIS — Laird Technologies Inc. implemented Ansoft Corporation's HFSS advanced 3D simulation tool for rigorous design tasks on complex mobile devices and advanced antenna systems.
The HFSS distributed solve (DSO) design tool allows Laird to synthesize new designs and evaluate advanced design concepts that were previously too complex to simulate. Laird cites a rise in smartphone popularity, and resultant multiple wireless interfaces and antennae concentrated in a small handheld device, as impetus for adding the simulation tool.
The ability to simulate effects of multiple antennas coupled to other subsystems in the device is critical for next-generation protocols supporting live video, high data rate transmission, interactive Web surfing, and other wireless Internet capabilities, according to the company.
Laird designers now simulate the antenna system in the presence of the entire phone including the effects of shielding, speakers, integrated digital cameras, and the multiple bands required to support integrated "rich" features like GPS.
The tool can help resolve large problems in 3D mesh-making, solution capacity, and memory management, added Ansoft representatives.
