Overcoming Challenges in Active Antenna System Design

Active Antenna Systems drive wireless innovation in 5G and satellite networks but introduce complex engineering challenges, including electromagnetic coupling, thermal management, and integration with nonlinear RF components. Traditional, siloed simulation tools often fail to capture the multi-physics and multi-scale behavior of AAS, resulting in costly prototypes and sub-optimal performance.

SIMULIA’s CST Studio Suite and IVCAD Suite deliver an integrated workflow, combining high-fidelity electromagnetic and circuit co-simulation with advanced behavioral modeling. This unified approach bridges the gap between component-level and system-level analysis, enabling accurate modeling, early detection of issues like mutual coupling and nonlinear distortion, and significant reductions in development time and cost.

Highlights of the webinar:

• Precise modeling of advanced active antenna architectures, including beamsteering and MIMO configurations

• Efficient optimization of RF front-end design for power, efficiency, and linearity

• Accurate prediction and mitigation of mutual coupling and nonlinear distortion

• Validation of system performance in realistic operating environments

• Integrated workflow that streamlines development, cuts prototyping costs, and accelerates time-to-market
