Now-a-days antennas have become an integral and important part of almost any wireless communication system. In the field of antenna engineering, theoretical analysis is of paramount importance in understanding the basics of the antenna radiation characteristics. While the basic concept of antennas is well known, closed form, exact analytical solutions to many antenna problems are not practical and impossible in many cases. Advances in electromagnetic (EM) simulations have significantly impacted the antenna design process by providing exact solutions by solving Maxwell’s equations using numerical methods. It is a common practice now in academia and industry to use various commercially available EM simulation tools for antenna design process. In this talk, we will introduce basics of antenna modeling and simulation process with pros and cons of various numerical methods, such as Method of Moments (MoM), Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM), Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD), Physical Optics (PO), Ray Lunching Geometrical Optics (RL-GO), and Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD). We will then discuss modeling and simulation of various antenna types, starting from simple configurations such as dipoles and loops and eventually leading to more complicated and practical designs such as microstrip patches and high-gain reflector <a href="http://antennas.This" target="_blank" title="antennas.This">antennas.This webinar will be followed by a second webinar on December 9th (2PM Eastern) with live demonstrations of Feko for antenna simulations by Mr. Gopi Gampala, Senior Member IEEE, Manager Global Technical Team, Altair. Mr. Gampala will introduce Altair Feko user interface (CADFEKO and POSTFEKO) followed by live demo of the Feko to show case simulation of different antennas and application of various solver technologies explained in Webinar on Nov 19th.
