Innovative prospective of Antenna-Gain removing the pain of EMI engineers

EMI engineers are struggling everyday with complex radiation problems that fails critical products to pass EMI certification and causes big loss of profit. Advances in EMI engineering are following a similar trend like Signal-Integrity engineering 10-years ago when tools nowadays became capable of providing accurate predictive simulations in a reasonable amount of time. With careful engineering utilizing cutting-edge full-wave field-solver software: Momentum (MOM), EMpro (FDTD) along with a hardware boost using heterogeneous massive CPU/GPU parallel processing (CUDA) technology, we can move the EMI teams from the back-end black-magic to a successful cost-effective front-end design. This paper presents an innovative process (Virtual-EMI lab) for pre-and post-tape-out providing the designers with an early stage EMI-suppression matrix (on-chip, on-package and on-board enablers) to find the optimum trade-off between performance and cost. It is also observed that trade-off between SI/PI and EMI is the common signature of nowadays High-speed-Digital design techniques.
