FEKO is a full wave, method of moments (MoM) based, computer code for the analysis of electromagnetic problems such as: EMC, shielding, coupling, antenna design, antenna placement analysis, microstrip antennas and circuits, striplines, dielectric bodies, scattering analysis etc.

The implementation is comprehensive and has been extended for the analysis of thin dielectric sheets, multiple homogeneous dielectric bodies and planar stratified media. Modules are available for parametric optimisation, time domain analysis and the analysis of complex cable harnesses in their 3D environment. Mltilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM) is implemented tl analyze electrically large structures.

In order to solve electrically large problems the MoM has been hybridised with the asymptotic high frequency techniques, physical optics (PO) and the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD). This true hybridisation reduces the computational resource requirements, enabling the analysis of very large problems.

Parallel processing and other techniques can be used to speed up the solution of the CEM problems. A professional graphical user interface is available for pre- and post-processing as well as importation of different CAD formats.
