RF Antennas 1.0: Altair FEKO in Practice: Electromagnetic Simulation and a Patch Antenna Design Explained

Happy Wednesday and welcome to another article in the RF Antennas series!

Introduction

Did you know the name “FEKO” is a German phrase that translates to field computations involving bodies of arbitrary shapes!

In electromagnetic engineering, most real-world problems involve complex geometries that cannot be solved analytically. This is where full-wave simulation tools like Altair FEKO become essential.

Altair FEKO is a leading comprehensive electromagnetic (EM) analysis software, commonly used in many industries and built on state-of-the-art computational EM (CEM) techniques, to provide users with software that can solve a broad range of electromagnetic problems.

FEKO has been a leader in high-frequency electromagnetic simulation for over 20 years. Building on this strong legacy, it now delivers a cost-effective package of parallelized solvers to design products for an increasingly connected world.
