5G Simulation Toolkit

Toolkit for design, analysis, and optimization of 5G mm-wave antenna arrays

28 GHz active antenna with 36 elements. Best achievable performance for each subarray is assessed with the Max-Gain algorithm. Highest power-density levels are found by the Maximum Exposure Evaluator algorithm.

Product description

Sim4Life 5G Toolkit provides the most efficient solution for the design, analysis, and optimization of 5G mm-wave antenna arrays. It empowers engineers to develop phased-array antennas in a short time and to meet demanding performance requirements, including regulatory compliance.

The power density algorithm is fully compliant with the latest draft of IEC/IEEE 63195, both on flat or curved surfaces.

 

Watch these user videos which demonstrate the phased-array antenna design workflow and Maximum Exposure Evaluator for compliance testing of next-generation mobile phones, 5G base stations, or other mmWave applications.

 Key Features
