Keysight EMPro 2026: Advanced EM Simulation for High-Frequency Design
Keysight EMPro 2026 is a premier 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation software for designing and analyzing high-frequency components, antennas, and electronic packages. It provides engineers with a robust environment to model complex 3D structures and predict their EM behavior before prototyping, ensuring performance and reducing design cycles in RF, microwave, and high-speed digital applications.
Core Function: High-Fidelity 3D EM Modeling
Its primary function is to solve Maxwell’s equations for complex 3D geometries using multiple full-wave numerical methods. This allows accurate prediction of S-parameters, radiation patterns, and EM fields for structures where analytical formulas are insufficient.
Key Functions:
-
Multi-Solver Environment: Integrates industry-proven solvers: FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain) for wideband analysis, FEM (Finite Element Method) for high-Q and resonant structures, and MoM (Method of Moments) for planar antennas and PCBs.
-
Antenna & Array Design: Features dedicated tools for designing, optimizing, and analyzing a wide range of antennas and antenna arrays, with comprehensive near-field and far-field visualization.
-
RF Component & Package Modeling: Simulates performance of connectors, filters, couplers, RFIC/MMIC packages, and on-chip passives, including parasitic extraction for co-design with circuit simulators.
-
Co-Simulation & Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Keysight’s PathWave ADS for combined circuit-EM co-simulation, enabling system-level analysis of mixed EM and circuit designs.
