In mid to late 2020, hotly anticipated 5G-enabled smartphones began to roll out to the general public. One of the key aspects of the new 5G infrastructure that supports these devices is RF filters. These filters, which are used to stop signal interference, can become subject to significant temperature variations resulting in structural deformation, especially in extreme environmental conditions. Engineers designing RF filters for 5G devices must be able to analyze how temperature variations and thermal stresses affect their performance. This is where multiphysics simulation comes into play.
