Antennas are virtually everywhere. From commercial applications such as smartphones, RFID tags and wireless printers, to defense applications such as phased array antennas for aircraft radar systems or satellite based, to provide integrated ground-based communication systems. Electromagnetic simulation is a valuable tool in antenna design and platform integration providing the designer the ability to virtually design and evaluate what if scenarios as well as verify the final manufactured design.
Ansys HFSS excels at a wide variety of high frequency, full-wave, electromagnetic applications including antenna design and placement since it uses multiple advanced solver techniques to simulate not just the antenna but also the effects of its interaction with the entire system, including the feeding system as well as the platform.
