Agilent enhances electromagnetic software for EMI compliance

help design engineers identify and resolve difficult electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems.

Agilent Technologies has recently rolled out is latest 3D electromagnetic simulation software, Electromagnetic Professional (EMPro). EMPro 2013 helps design engineers identify and resolve difficult electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems. It also offers a number of new capabilities to reduce simulation time and increase design efficiency.

Thee simulation software allows engineers to simulate the radiated emissions of electronic circuits and components and then determine whether these emissions are within levels specified by common electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, such as FCC Part 15, CISPR 22 and MIL-STD-461F. This capability is enabled by new specification-compliance templates, as well as several enhancements to both EMPro's finite element method (FEM) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulators.

EMPro 2013 introduces several enhancements that cover a broad range of applications, such as a simulation management tool for launching remote and distributed simulations on high-end servers and compute clusters, disconnecting and later reconnecting a client computer, and receiving status updates on a mobile device. The software also boasts an increased FEM mesh performance and robustness for large designs. It's new FEM hybrid boundary conditions that result in higher simulation speed and accuracy.
