Antenna Placement Software and Analysis

Application Examples

Electric fields between two headphones travel around/through the human head. Four scenarios are simulated in XFdtd.

Application Examples

The exposure to a driver in a car from a car-mounted VHF radio is examined. Specifically, the SAR and electric field strength in the human are observed.

Application Examples

The performance of a basic cellular telephone worn on the hip of a human male is studied for varying positions of the wearer.

Greg Skidmore, from Remcom, attended a virtual workshop held by NTIA on November 6, 2024, focused on the challenges of developing this model, with discussions led by experts from various organizations highlighting obstacles such as the Moon's terrain and lack of gravity. The event aimed to enhance understanding and collaboration in this critical research area to support future lunar missions.

Steerable array antennas could help meet the goals of 5G mobile communication systems. In this paper from Microwave Journal, we use a simple simulation of an 8x8 patch antenna array to demonstrate the usefulness of the CDF of EIRP to characterize the ability of an array to provide good EIRP in all directions.

In this paper, FDTD simulations are performed on a 900 MHz band antenna inside and outside the carbon fiber body of a solar-powered electric vehicle. Data are analyzed to determine the optimal antenna placement for transmission to a receiving antenna located toward the rear of the solar vehicle.

This whitepaper demonstrates how XFdtd's time-domain approach enables rapid development by allowing engineers to determine the performance of a fully detailed sensor model installed behind a piece of fascia without needing to build prototypes and run tests in an anechoic chamber. The analysis of a 25 GHz sensor frames the discussion.
