Microstrip Low Pass Filter
In this tutorial a simple Microstrip Low Pass Filter is derived from a template. Basic features of EMPIRE XCcel, like feed library, hierarchical list, object properties and automatic meshing are introduced and a typical simulation is carried out explaining results and animations.

Printed inverted-F antenna
In this tutorial a GDS layout of the antenna will be imported and substrate and coating are defined. The priority concept is used here.
|
|
Multi-layer inductor
A simple inductor example is set up in this tutorial. The structure is imported as a STL file and a lumped port is used for excitation. Inductance and quality factor are generated with user-defined equations.

Waveguide Exciter
Here, a rectangular waveguide is excited by a coaxial feed. The length of the inner rod and the backshort are optimized with respect to return loss.

RF ID coil
In this example an RF ID coil is derived from a template and analyzed. Near and far field of this device is generated. For matching an SMD capacitor is introduced.
|
|
Slot array with multiple excitations
Here, a slot array is created and simultaneously excited. Amplitudes and phases are defined with the aid of a Python script which detects the position of the slots and assigns the associated values.
