Simulation-Driven Design: Eliminating SI/PI & EMI Failures in Aerospace & Defense Electronics

As aerospace and defense electronics continue to grow in speed, density, and complexity, ensuring reliable PCB performance has become increasingly critical. High-speed designs are highly susceptible to Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) issues, which can lead to functional failures, compliance risks, costly re-spins, and mission delays.

This webinar introduces a simulation-driven design approach that enables engineers to predict real-world PCB behavior early in the design cycle. By performing SI, PI, and EMI analysis before fabrication, teams can eliminate risks upfront, reduce prototype iterations, and achieve first-time-right, mission-ready designs.[/vc_column][/vc_row]

  • SI and PI issues caused by high-speed switching, leading to reflections, crosstalk, voltage drops, and timing errors
  • EMI generation and susceptibility impacting system compliance and reliability
  • Power Distribution Network (PDN) weaknesses causing noise and instability
  • Layout inefficiencies resulting in multiple re-spins and extended schedules
  • Difficulty identifying high-risk nets, vias, and routing patterns early
