Connected electronic devices like tablets, laptops, smartphones and the diverse ecosystem of Internet of Things products typically implement multiple RF systems. For example, a smartphone nowadays will offer connectivity for WiFi at 2.4 and 5 GHz, Bluetooth, GPS, GSM, NFC and multiple LTE Bands that need to coexist on a platform with a small form factor. Furthermore, the current generation of data buses like USB 3.0 and DDR4 run at high clock speeds with harmonics spreading well into the RF frequencies. This poses a significant challenge to the designers of such devices as the tight integration can lead to interference between these systems. Such RF interference results in performance degradation of these systems and is not acceptable.

In this eSeminar, learn about:

• How a full wave 3D simulation can be used to analyze the coupling between different RF systems, antennas and digital signal lines. The analysis will be performed on a model of a modern, realistic mobile phone with a high complexity. 
• How to use the coupling data to estimate the possible RF interference using the CST Studio Suite®​​​​​​​ interference tool.
