Course Description
In this course, you review Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) and are introduced to the Virtuoso® RF (VRF) Solution. You start the course by exploring the Electromagnetic Solver Assistant in the Virtuoso Layout Suite EXL, with a focus on the Virtuoso Electromagnetic (VEM)-EMX. You learn to describe the ports in the Electromagnetic Solver Assistant for VEM-EMX. Following this, you review the three use models for the VRF solution in the Electromagnetic Solver Assistant for VEM-EMX: Full Cellview, XL-Based, and LVS-Based. For the Full Cellview Model, you simulate complete layouts and layouts with Automatic Cell Exclusion (Blackboxing). For the XL-based model, you simulate Partial and Hierarchical Layouts. For the LVS-Based Model, you simulate the Partial and LVS-Blackboxed Layouts. You explore techniques to simplify the layout shapes in the Electromagnetic Solver Assistant for VEM-EMX. You further describe the Currents Assistant in the Virtuoso 3D Viewer to visualize the 3D Current. You conclude this course by comparing the post-layout simulation results using VEM-EMX for the three use models.
