Electromagnetic simulation time and memory are dependent upon the electrical size of the model being simulated. In this paper, analysis between simulation runtime and memory between Altair Feko’s full wave/asymptotic solvers and parallel processes is performed using aircraft models provided in UT Austin’s RCS Benchmark Suite.

Simulation and analysis of radar signal scattering and radar cross section (RCS) are important and increasingly popular tools for a growing list of applications involving radar sensing. RCS is an important consideration not only in the design of radar systems, but also in the design of objects that must be optimized to evade or invite radar detection.

This document looks at how Feko—in conjunction with Altair’s solutions for design simulation, exploration and optimization, structural assessment, and thermal analysis—can help antenna designers develop and verify their antenna solutions quickly, accurately, and efficiently. It will focus on how to realize automated, iterative design optimization through modelling and visualization.

Analyzing co-site interference using electromagnetics simulation solutions requires:

• Accurate determination of the coupling between antennas over a broad frequency range
• Evaluation of the impact of non-linear electronic effects

This white paper describes how to analyze co-site interference on large multi-antenna platforms, modify proposed configurations, and easily eliminate co-site interference problems.

The aerospace and defense industry relies heavily upon advanced electronic systems for field communications, control, targeting, threat detection, asset tracking, health monitoring, and theater operations. These advanced electronic systems often require multiple, high-fidelity antennas. Those antennas, in turn, require interference free integration for maximum signal strength and reliability. This technical document provides an overview of Altair’s electromagnetics simulation strategies and technologies that support the development of complex electronic systems.

With 6G networks on the horizon faster speeds will result in higher data rates for users using the 3.5 GHz frequency bands for area-wide services and the 26-28 GHz bands for high data rate hotspots.

The use of machine learning enables an antenna designer to generate a trained mathematical model that replicates an original antenna design. The trained model enables the optimization of the antenna through thousands of iterations in just a few seconds.

Bundles of electrical cables in vehicles, aircraft, ships and buildings pose electromagnetic compatibility and interference challenges to the electrical design engineer. Due to their lengths, they are more likely to radiate or pick up irradiation than many other electrical components and systems.

Today, most products are complex mechatronic combinations of advanced technologies, mixing electrical parts with controllers and embedded software. To efficiently manage innovative products, organizations are turning to a Model-Based Development approach for concept studies, control design, multi-domain system simulation and optimization.
