Ansys Uses Flexium 5G Antenna Designs to Advance ADAS/AV - Digital Engineering

Within Flexium's PCB layouts are flexible print circuits (FPCs) responsible for connections that enable 5G communication in ADAS and AV applications. Any design deficiencies within these layouts can negatively impact FPC transmission characteristics responsible for vehicle perception. To address these challenges, Flexium uses Ansys simulation software for the electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical optimization of its FPC designs through layout and material changes. Ansys tools also helped Flexium set parameters for board layout and materials, then create a reference library for future mmWave design verification. “Ansys delivers the greatest predictive accuracy and yields the strongest results for us during PCB layout analysis critical to today's ADAS and AV applications,” says Ming-Chi Cheng, president of Flexium.
