Ansys Helps Accelerate Development of TMYTEK's Next-Gen mmWave Technology for 5G, Satellite Communications
July 17, 2023 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Leading mmWave technology developer TMY Technology, Inc. (TMYTEK) uses Ansys simulation software to improve the performance, efficiency, and quality of its antenna-in-package (AiP) designs through rapid design verification. TMYTEK relies on numerous Ansys solvers to improve on its next-generation mmWave technologies for 5G and satellite communications quickly — significantly reducing associated development costs.
AiP technologies integrate complex radio frequency components with their related circuitry into a single chip design — an important development in the miniaturization of the radio systems required for consumer electronics and various mmWave applications supporting 5G networks. However, application complexities and ever-increasing market demands for smaller, more compact electronics require engineers to manage and validate their AiP designs more efficiently to reduce cost and time to market.
TMYTEK relies on Ansys solutions to develop its next-generation mmWave technologies, including its 5G open radio access network (O-RAN), small cell antenna, and satellite communication user terminal electronic steering antenna designs. Ansys helps TMYTEK deliver precise results in rapid AiP performance verification, from fast, predictively accurate thermal results, to parasitic parameter calculations, to process automation.
"Using Ansys, we can offer comprehensive design services to our customers, accelerate R&D and speed time to market," said Su-Wei Chang, founder and president at TMYTEK. "Ansys solutions enable us to comprehensively simulate and measure AiP performance faster — spanning antenna and radio-frequency module parasitic parameters, thermal activity, signal and power integrity, and customized system integration design performance. This results in greater efficiency up and down the development chain, freeing time up for future projects."
"As the demand for novel mmWave solutions continues to grow, AiP design complexity and time-to-market requirements present major challenges for our customers," said John Lee, vice president and general manager of the electronics, semiconductor and optics business unit at Ansys. "Ansys simulation solutions drive the rapid innovation behind these novel mmWave technologies, such as TMYTEK's, shaping the future of 5G antenna design."

Bridging the Gap Between PCB Designers and Fabricators
04/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWith today’s advanced EDA tools, designing complex PCBs in the virtual world does not necessarily mean they can be built in the real world. This makes the relationship between a PCB designer and a fabricator pivotal to the success of a project. In keeping with solid design for manufacturing (DFM) practices, clear and frequent communication is needed to dial and lock in design constraints that meet expectations while addressing manufacturing concerns.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
