Momentum is 3-D planar EM simulation software[1] for electronics and antenna analysis, a partial differential equation solver of Maxwell's equations based on the method of moments.
[2] It is a 3-D planar electromagnetic (EM) simulator used for passive circuit analysis.
It combines full-wave and quasi-static EM solvers to provide insight into EM behavior of MMIC, RFIC, RF Board, Signal Integrity, and antenna designs.
It was originally developed by a Belgian company, Alphabit, a spinoff from the Electromagnetics Group[4] of Ghent University and IMEC.
[5][6] Early contributors to the technology include Niels Faché, Jan Van Hese, Frank Libbrecht, Jeannick Sercu, Luc Vandormael, Mieke Herreman, Peter Kok, Tom Dhaene and Krist Blomme.
