We were honored to have SIMULIA Champion Krisna Rao from Google present Impedance as a Service: Elevating Wireless Performance and Reducing Interference at the 2024 SIMULIA High-Tech Industry Day in Santa Clara, California, Wednesday, September 11, 2024.  

Abstract 

This presentation explores impedance optimization techniques and their role in enhancing wireless performance in consumer electronics. By utilizing electromagnetic field visualization tools, deeper insights into how impedance adjustments impact antenna behavior, leading to improved efficiency and isolation for reduced interference can be obtained. The approach addresses critical challenges such as dense and system coexistence, in consumer hardware system integration.
