Characteristic Mode Configuration
A characteristic mode configuration results in a characteristic mode analysis (CMA) request. The analysis is based on the numerical calculation of a weighted set of orthogonal mode currents.
The currents are supported on conducting surfaces as well as dielectric and magnetic materials with MoM / SEP and apertures with the planar Green’s function.
Key parameters such as the resonance frequency of these modes and their radiating behaviour can be determined by studying the current distribution of these modes.
