Duke University, Durham, NCIn their efforts to use metamaterials to construct the world´s first working prototype of an invisibility cloak, researchers relied on modeling to lead them...
Rice University, Houston, TXThe least-explored region of the electromagnetic spectrum consists of terahertz waves, which at 100 GHz to 10 THz fall between microwaves and infrared light....
Electromagnetic heating is ideally suited for modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics. This model shows the area of Hyperthermic Oncology but the modeling issues and techniques are generally applicable to any problem involving electromagnetic...
Feeding a waveguide from a coaxial cable is a straightforward way to achieve electromagnetic waves inside a waveguide. Due to its small size and circular shape, the cable contributes significantly to the overall size of the problem. It is...
Microwave filters are used to eliminate unwanted frequency components in the output from microwave transmitters. They are typically inserted between a power amplifier and an antenna. The amplifiers are nonlinear and produce harmonics...
Patch antennas are compact and easy to fabricate. The layout of the patch and the properties of the printed circuit board determine the radiation pattern. This model is a full 3D simulation of a patch antenna. It finds the optimum...
To illustrate how to calculate the lumped parameters this model calculates the capacitance in a microstrip. The example shows the two different ways of calculating the capacitance. The model is solved twice: once with a static analysis...
A microwave circulator is a multiport device in which a wave incident on Port 1 is coupled only into Port 2; a wave incident on Port 2 is coupled only into Port 3; and so on. Circulators are used to isolate microwave components, for...
This is a model of the heating process in a microwave oven. The distributed heat source is computed in a stationary, frequency domain electromagnetic analysis followed. This is followed by a transient heat transfer simulation showing how...
The increasing use of wireless equipment has also increased the amount of radiation energy to which human bodies are exposed. A common property that measures absorbed energy is the SAR value, (specific absorption rate) to determine the...
