Antenna Placement Software and Analysis
Remcom’s antenna modeling software tools ensure proper design and placement of antennas in almost any application. Our simulation tools can work alone or together for a complete analysis of how an antenna will perform: simulate 3D fields in XFdtd, then import the antenna into XGtd to determine optimal placement on a large structure such as a satellite, aircraft, or ship. Or, import into Wireless InSite to see how the antenna’s signal is affected as a vehicle moves through a realistic city or rural scene.

Antenna Coupling Simulation for Aircraft Circular Patch Antennas
This example analyzes the coupling between four circular patch antennas mounted on the sides of a Boeing 757. The antennas transmit and receive at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Coupling between each antenna is characterized using XGtd’s S-Parameter output, which can be displayed in the user interface or exported to a v1.1 Touchstone file.

Using CDF to Assess 5G Antenna Directionality
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.

Finite-Difference Time-Domain Modeling of Ultra-High Frequency Antennas On and Inside the Carbon Fiber Body of a Solar-Powered Electric Vehicle
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.

Benefits of Time-Domain Electromagnetic Simulation for Automotive Radar
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.
