Join us on Wednesday, Sep 16th, 2026 for our next LIVE Ask Me Anything Session on "Trusting Simulation Clarity at 50 GHz and Beyond" and discover how to achieve accurate, reliable results for next-generation high-speed designs.

If my simulation result looks okay, how do I know they accurately reflect behaviour at 50 GHz and beyond? 

For getting started, great question. 

For someone new to simulation , any best practices that you can share? For results at 50Gbz

1. Never trust the first run. Always perform at least one mesh refinement study.
2. Check current flow and return paths, not just S-parameters.
3. Use realistic material and roughness data.
4. Simulate beyond the target frequency (e.g., 110 GHz for a 50 GHz design).
5. Ask "Why do I see this behavior?" for every resonance, notch, or loss peak. If you cannot explain it, investigate further before signing off the design.
