Antenna, Electromagnetics & Transmission Line Simulators
Manufacturers & Services |
Antenna, electromagnetics and transmission line simulators are a special breed of software because of the sophisticated 3-dimensional electromagnetic equations that must be applied. Designing antennas for first-pass success requires a very high level of sophistication by the software. It must contain component models (including substrates and enclosures) that accurately compute values that take into account the many parasitic effects of lead inductance, interwinding capacitance, resistance of the component, etc. Generally, price correlates directly to the capability of the software.
