Antenna Simulation Technologies in HFSS
HFSS offers the full suite of simulation tools and technologies for antenna design and placement simulation
Antenna Design & Modeling Software
Understanding the factors affecting antenna performance when installed on real-world platforms is crucial to a sustainable design process.
Smarter Antenna Design and Placement Simulation
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 autonomous vehicles, to integrated ground-based communication systems.
Electromagnetic simulation of antenna design and its interaction with the entire system allows designers to evaluate “what if” real life scenarios.
