What is the μWave Wizard?

The μWave Wizard software package offers synthesis and optimization tools. Its built-in hybrid solvents are developing tools that combine "multiple engines under one roof." This concept harnesses the combined strength of individual solvers. Hybrid solvents subdivide complex structures into components that can be individually simulated using designated solvers best suited to the task.

Instead of using the conventional approach of drawing a complex structure entirely in 3D, user-defined elements can be cascaded with predefined library elements in a schematic. Each element is fully described by its modal dispersion matrix. By cascading the simulated RF performance of all individual components, the frequency response of the complex structure can be accurately predicted.

Libraries can contain single elements such as irises, cavities, and junctions, but also complex structures such as OMTs, polarizers, and horns. All elements are parameterized, allowing users to compose initial designs or introduce modifications in a short time. Parameterization also allows users to optimize complex structures to meet challenging specifications.

For verification purposes, the results of the hybrid solver can be quickly checked with the built-in FEM solver. A simple click of the mouse will calculate the cascading assembly as a large 3D-FEM object with no changes and no additional effort in construction.

The ability to design quickly, along with fast execution speeds, proves the shortening of the development cycle of RF components. These inherent benefits of μWave Wizard will result in a quick return on your investment.
