PeakView PBM
N-Port Passive Broadband Modeling
High-frequency designers rely on S-parameter device models for frequency-based circuit simulations. However, all designers also want to verify transient circuit behavior but require equivalent circuit representations for their S-parameter models. PeakView’s optional Passive Broadband Modeling (PBM) Engine converts any arbitrary N-port S-parameter model to a SpectreRF™ compatible equivalent circuit model that is guaranteed to be passive over a wideband (up to 40ghz) of use.  PeakView’s PBM’s have also been automatically adjusted to minimize white noise content. 

PeakView PBM Key Features Converts N-Port S-Parameter Models to SpectreRF Compatiable N-Port Equivalent Circuit Models Guaranteed Passive Model Netlist Automatic White Noise Adjustment

PeakView PBM’s Equivalent Circuit model match measured results. PBM accepts arbitrary N-Port S-Parameter Models and converts them to SpectreRF equivalent circuit model. The equivalent circuit model is guaranteed to be passive and is reliable up to 40Ghz.

 PeakView PBM easily converts S-parameter models with 5-, 10-, 20 or more ports to a compact equivalent circuit model to be used in the designers SpectreRF time-domain circuit simulation. Now, circuit simulation sign-off quality is improved by enabling large-scale transient analysis of your design.

PeakView PBM is especially useful for converting coupling group EM models created during PeakView EM Integrity analysis into equivalent circuit models. EM Integrity analysis on a coupling group basis makes it easier for the designer to detect and repair EM Integrity design faults. This enables Designers to easily perform large-scale transient simulations of their design with EM-level accuracy.
