RF Design Examples for Cadence PCB Designer tool

RohitRohan

Hai Community,

I am currently going to work on some RF designs using the Cadence PCB designer tool, can anyone please provide the documents or video links of how effectively the RF design PCB boards can be designed or implemented using the Cadence PCB Products.

Also can we design the RF Design PCB boards using the OrCAD PCB Professional tool or should I use the higher PCB tool like the Allegro PCB Designer.

Regards,

Rohit Rohan

  • Do you need etch/shape-based reactive components typical for 10ghz and above or are you working with WiFi/under-5ghz that uses physical 0201 passives, actives, and microstrip?  Orcad Standard fills most needs for the under 8ghz stuff, IMHO.  Orcad pro adds Live BOM.

    Allegro RF is appropriate when a copper shape on the board has a schematic equivalent for a cap/inductor/filter.  Schematic hooks for simulation/validation of the shape in AWR/MWO saves time.

    Allegro RF also automates designing microstrip paths as a shape with automatic neckdown into a device pin (minimize discontinuity) and adds a bevel to 90deg turns.
