Microwave Inductor Models Allow Designers to Simulate Condition-Specific Responses Electronically

11 July 2016

Modelithics, Inc. and Coilcraft have collaborated on two new microwave global models to be used in Coilcraft’s BCL (flying lead) and BCR (surface mount) RF devices and its microwave inductor families.

The global models are accurate equivalent circuit models that cover an entire component series within a single model. The models feature substrate, pad and part value scalability and accurately predict parasitic effects based on the model parameter settings, Modelithics says. This allows designers the ability to simulate condition-specific responses in designs electronically and perform analysis of the designs accurately and efficiently.

Furthermore the models are substrate scalable over a range of material thickness and dielectric constant properties.
