SOFTWARE

Microwave Global Model™

Modelithics has developed a new Microwave Global Model™ for the Amotech A60Z capacitor series, available in the Modelithics Complete Library™ for many of today’s EDA software tools. The model is validated up to 50 GHz and is part-value scalable, covering the capacitance range of 0.1 to 10 pF. This part-value scalability makes the model well suited for tuning or optimization. The model also scales with respect to substrates and solder pads. Thanks to substrate scalability, desired substrates can be used, and the model will then scale accordingly.
