Patch Antenna on ball grid array (BGA) - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Logan:

You certainly can simulate a patch on BGA on IE3D. In fact, the IE3D 11 implemented the AGIF which can convert GDSII files, Cadence Virtuoso files, and Cadence Allegro and APD files into IE3D geometry ready for simulation. BGA can be automatically built from geometry from other layouts. Please check for it. Regards.
