Feko’s broad range of solution methods technologies makes
it applicable to solve a range of different antenna types.
For example, the method of moments (MoM)
solver is well suited to solve metallic antennas while the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is a better choice for broadband or
multi-band antennas.
Typical antennas types including wire antennas, microstrip antennas, horn and aperture
antennas with lenses, broadband and multi-band antennas, multiple-input and
multiple-output (MIMO) designs for wireless communications, reflectors, phased arrays
and conformal antennas.
Key features:
Variety of accurate, powerful and reliable 3D electromagnetic (EM) solution
methods, including dedicated tools for designing windscreen antennas.
Unique characteristic mode analysis (CMA) solver for intelligent design.
Dedicated tools for antenna arrays including periodic boundary condition (PBC)
for repeating structures and domain Green’s function method (DGFM) for large,
but finite arrays.
Parametric modelling and a powerful optimisation engine.
