Integrated Antenna Performance Evaluation

Determining Efficiency of HF Aircraft-Coupled Antennas in Composite Aircraft using EMA3D EMA has effectively demonstrated a method of evaluating aircraft-coupled communication antenna efficiency which uses the entire aircraft as a radiator by simulating the antenna input impedance with the EMA3D finite difference time domain (FDTD) code. The effect of the use of carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) […]

MHARNESS – A Cable Harness EM Solver

MHARNESS to Complete the Last Mile of EM Coupling Simulation  Traditionally, electromagnetic effects simulation has focused on the transients induced on the overall cable bundle of complex systems. MHARNESS is a transmission line solver that reveals the EM transients on the most critical element of systems: the pin interface to electronics systems. Now, EMA3D and […]
