Antenna design

Agilent has released its antenna modelling design system, a 3D tool based on electromagnetic technology.

It reduces design and quality risks by simulating the entire wireless appliance together with its environment.

It ensures compliance with regulatory and operator demands such as over-the-air performance and specific absorption rate. It also analyses antenna diversity for multiple-in-multiple-out.

The success of wireless appliance antenna designers depends on tools that can address both business and design risk management. The tool contains intelligent CAD import capabilities, along with the traditional drawing interface that make it easier and faster to perform 3D EM simulations than with traditional simulators.

The tool: facilitates cross-functional teamwork between antenna and product designers through exchange of CAD data, eliminating modelling rework for subsequent design iterations; guarantees antenna placement performance by taking the entire physical wireless appliance into account; improves performance by introducing real-world interaction with the human body directly into the EM simulation.
