The Power of Clarity in Microwave Office: Transforming 3D EM Simulation

In today’s high-frequency, high-density design landscape, engineers face a growing challenge: accurately simulating real-world electromagnetic behavior in increasingly complex systems. The answer? Clarity 3D Solver, seamlessly integrated into Cadence AWR Microwave Office.

This powerful combination is redefining how RF and microwave engineers approach 3D EM simulation, making it faster, smarter, and more scalable than ever before.

What Makes Clarity So Powerful?

3D Simulation for Real-World Designs

Clarity is built to handle the kinds of structures that traditional tools struggle with:

• QFN/BGA packages
• Coaxial connectors and waveguides
• Bondwires and 3D interconnects

It captures physical effects like radiation, coupling, and parasitics, ensuring your designs perform as expected in the real world.

Seamless Integration with Microwave Office

No more exporting, reconfiguring, or switching tools. Clarity works natively within the Microwave Office environment, allowing you to:

• Launch local or remote simulations directly from your layout
• Use hierarchical design flows with sub-cells
• Visualize current and field distributions in 3D

Advanced Solver Technology

Clarity leverages a robust finite element method (FEM) engine with:

• Adaptive meshing and frequency sweeping (AFS)
• Support for wave and lumped ports
• Customizable boundary conditions (PEC, Open, PML)

You get full control over simulation fidelity and performance.

Scalable for the Most Demanding Jobs

Whether you're simulating a single chip or a full module, Clarity is built to scale:

• Optimized for high-performance computing
• Supports distributed computing for faster results
• Efficient memory and mesh management

Learn It. Master It. Prove It.
