Applications
The USS Freedom, LCS-1, with a V-22 Osprey was simulated in time for a lightning strike on one of the booms of the ship. The current and electric fields on the vessel and aircraft were monitored in time as well as induced currents on several antennas.
The transient solver in Microwave Studio is very useful in studying models with complex geometry such as metamaterials.
A frequency selective surface (FSS) built in Microwave Studio as 2 back-to-back Seivenpiper surfaces.
In designing housings for electronics you are often concerned about the radiation to the outside (EMC) and the radiation from outside the housing which interferes with the electronics (EMI).
A 512 element wideband array is built and simulated in CST Microwave Studio. The array is based on work from researchers at the University of Mass. Amherst.
Cosite interference between antenna systems on an air frame were determined using the integral solver in Microwave Studio.
Models in excess of 10λ across can be simulated with full wave EM tools in Microwave Studio.
A large array model clearly shows the advantages of working in the time domain. These models are bigger than can normally be simulated with a frequency domain solver on a desktop PC.
As a test case for the use of Microwave Studio in the design of circulators, a model was built following a well regarded paper.
This note highlights CST Microwave Studio's ability to model the effects of the body on the radiation of an implanted sensor and RF transmitter. The absorption of radiation in the body is also modeled.
High frequency EM analysis in the CST Studio Suites may be coupled to thermal analysis. In this example, EM analysis of a PCB-mounted microwave component is coupled to thermal analysis to determine heating from RF loss.
Modeling antennas on large platforms presents practical challenges. In this note, the CST Asymptotic (A) solver is applied to see the effects of the platform on the antenna patterns and to estimate coupling between the antennas.
This note studies the coupling between 242 Vivaldi elements and the array pattern when the beam is directed off normal. Simulation of the full array is accomplished over a wide (1-8 GHz) band.
