Because the tools in the HP EM circuit designer are complementary, they help engineers flow their designs from one development phase to the next without re-entry of the schematic or layout. The inclusion of new, EM-based optimization technology allows designers to specify geometric parameters and associated ranges, thereby optimizing the performance of the circuit according to predetermined specifications. This, in turn, enables engineers to optimize the design for maximum performance before the prototype phase. HP EM circuit designer, developed by the HP EEsof Division, is based on a combination of products from HP Advanced Design System and HP HFSS designer. Participants wishing to attend DAOnline are asked to visit a special Web site, then are guided through a slide presentation by a live presenter at the show.
Participants can hear the presentation either through streaming audio or via teleconference.
Following each presentation, participants may ask questions and receive answers from the presenter. A drawing for an HP digital camera will be held at the end of each session. The DAOnline Web site features complete descriptions and scheduling information to help participants decide what sessions to attend. Registration for DAOnline is ongoing, however space is limited for all sessions. Comments on our editorial are welcome.
