Virtual Measurements and Predictions
Circuit simulations: how reliable are they?
As an electronics enthusiast or engineer, you’ll know that the design of electronic circuits can be complex. These days, however, you can get help from computer programs, so you’ll know in advance if your design will function as intended. Or perhaps you won’t? We compared the measurements made on a real hardware prototype with the simulated data produced by a leading program and drew our conclusions.
