Amphenol RF
Danbury, Connecticut
RF and Microwave Coaxial Connectors
The Need
To design high-performance connectors with minimal reflections and losses
The Solution
HFSS
“In order to ensure that we meet all RF performance requirements, Amphenol RF has been using a very powerful simulation tool called HFSS,” writes Dave the Engineer. “This software package is manufactured by Ansoft and we have been using it to design connectors since 1997.”
“The tremendous advantage of the tool,” adds Dave, “is that we can design the connector and simulate its performance without having to make actual samples and test them. We can try various modifications and have results within minutes or perhaps hours at the most for more complex designs. Only after we are satisfied with the results will we submit the design for samples to be made and then tested.”
