Modelithics and Coilcraft have teamed up to develop two new Microwave Global Models for the Coilcraft BCL and BCR RF and microwave inductor families.
Modelithics Microwave Global Models are high-accuracy equivalent circuit models that cover an entire component series within a single model. These powerful models feature substrate, pad and part value scalability (or selectability), and accurately predict parasitic effects based on the model parameter settings. These features allow designers to simulate condition-specific response of their designs electronically and perform advanced analysis of their designs with efficiency and accuracy.
The new BCL (flying lead) and BCR (surface mount) series inductor models each come in two versions for series and shunt configurations. Each model is measurement-validated to 50 GHz and includes all available part values in the series. The models are also substrate scalable over a range of material thickness and dielectric constant properties, a very important feature in high-frequency design.
Coilcraft is sponsoring free 90-day licences for use of all Coilcraft inductor models in the Modelithics library, including the new conical models and more than 35 additional Coilcraft wirewound chip and air core inductor families. The models are now available for easy installation and use in five popular microwave simulation tools: Keysight ADS, Keysight Genesys, NI AWR Design Environment, ANSYS HFSS and Sonnet Suites.
