Simberian to Demonstrate Simbeor THz Software at DesignCon 2016
January 20, 2016 | SimberianEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Simberian Inc., an industry leader in electromagnetic simulation technology, will participate in the DesignCon 2016 January 19-21 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Simberian will feature demonstrations of updated Simbeor THz electromagnetic signal integrity software.
Simberian will demonstrate the updated Simbeor THz software at Booth #422 at DesignCon. Demonstration will include pre- and post-layout analysis of typical PCB interconnects operating up to 33 Gbps with crosstalk, broadband dielectric and conductor roughness model identification with GMS-parameters and SPP technique up to 50 GHz, and unique electromagnetic field visualization for typical PCB structures.
Simbeor THz is two-time DesignVision award-winning software tool for the physical design of PCB and packaging interconnects operating up to THz frequency range. Simbeor THz provides unique systematic approach to the interconnect analysis that starts from the material model identification and guaranties the analysis to measurement correlation at the end. Updated Simbeor THz is available for customers and trials at www.simberian.com.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.

Showing Some Constraint: Design007 Magazine July 2025
07/10/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamA robust design constraint strategy balances dozens of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we focus on design constraints—the requirements, challenges, and best practices for setting up the right constraint strategy.
The Shaughnessy Report: Showing Some Constraint
07/14/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportWhen we first decided to cover strategies for setting PCB design constraints, one designer we spoke with said, “They’re not really constraints; they’re more like guardrails that prevent your design from going off a cliff.”
Elementary, Mr. Watson: Rein in Your Design Constraints
07/10/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonI remember the long hours spent at the light table, carefully laying down black tape to shape each trace, cutting and aligning pads with surgical precision on sheets of Mylar. I often went home with nicks on my fingers from the X-Acto knives and bits of tape all over me. It was as much an art form as it was an engineering task—tactile and methodical, requiring the patience of a sculptor. A lot has changed in PCB design over the years.
