EM Simulation

Naval vessels and military aircraft, as well as other military systems, are at risk from weaponry that makes use of radar or infrared targeting systems. To reduce the risk of these threats it is desirable to minimize the radar cross section (RCS) and infrared (IR) signatures to make the platform less visible and therefore to increase the platform’s survivability and its ability to successfully perform its mission.

Design requirements for 24 GHz and 77 GHz automotive radar sensors are becoming more stringent as consumers increase demand for applications like blind spot detection (BSD) and lane change assistance (LCA). In turn, the engineering departments at Tier 1 suppliers like Delphi, Autoliv, and Continental are advancing technology in order to win bids from OEMs like BMW, Audi, and Chrysler.

Simulation technology has also advanced to meet design requirements.  Remcom offers an integrated approach from sensor design to drive test scenarios.

EMIT (electromagnetic interference toolkit) is a type of simulation software used to predict EMI (electromagnetic interference) in complex RF environments containing multiple transmitters and receivers, and to predict in-band and out-of-band interference effects for all Tx/Rx (transmitter/receiver) pairs in the scene.

The Galileo Suite from IDS is an electromagnetic environment modeling and simulation tool designed for use in virtual testing applications within the naval, aeronautical, and space industries. From single antennas to complex platforms, the Galileo Suite assists engineers in the design and simulation of electromagnetic systems and devices.

EM Software’s Automotive Electronics Software (FEKO) can be used in several automotive applications including antenna placement analysis, GPS receiver optimization, GSM transceivers, collision avoidance radars, EMC analysis for arbitray cable bundles and cable paths, radiation hazard analysis, crosstalk/communication interference minimization, and more.

Precision filter designers are often faced with the need to optimize filter designs using highly accurate full wave microwave electromagnetic (EM) solvers to overcome modeling limitations in standard microwave circuit simulators. However, using an EM solver within an optimization process can be very time-consuming.

The ANSYS HFSS is industry standard software made to simulate 3-D full-wave electromagnetic fields. The HFSS features gold-standard accuracy, and advanced solver and high-performance computing technology, making it ideal for designing high-frequency and high-speed electronics found in communication systems, radar systems, satellites, smart phones, and tablet devices.
