Empowering Educators for Simulation-Driven Innovation

Traditional electromagnetic education often involves theoretical lessons and static exercises. But in today's rapidly evolving wireless communication landscape, there's a growing demand for practical skills that translate directly to real-world applications.

Feko’s simulation-driven design approach empowers designers to create, test, and optimize their ideas in a virtual environment before ever building a physical prototype. It's a game-changer that accelerates innovation, reduces costs, and ensures your designs are robust and reliable from the get-go.

 

Feko Book 700x757

Textbook: Antenna Analysis and Design using FEKO Electromagnetic Simulation Software

This comprehensive textbook is an excellent resource for educators teaching antenna design and analysis. With its tutorial-based approach, it provides students with hands-on experience using FEKO for electromagnetic simulation. The book covers fundamental simulation techniques, theoretical analysis, and real-world design examples, making it ideal for both introductory and advanced antenna engineering courses. Educators can leverage its clear explanations, step-by-step simulations, and visualization tools to enhance student understanding of antenna radiation characteristics and design principles.

Key Features:

  • Hands-on Learning: Step-by-step tutorials using FEKO for real-world antenna design and analysis.
  • Fundamental Concepts: Covers dipole and loop antennas to build a strong foundation in antenna simulation.
  • Theory vs. Simulation: Compares theoretical analysis with full-wave simulation results for a deeper understanding.
  • Visualization Tools: Illustrates current distribution, radiation patterns, and other key characteristics.
  • Ideal for Educators: Supports both introductory and advanced courses in antenna engineering.
I tell students in my courses to take full advantage of the educational resources that Altair provides for Feko (including video tutorials), as they are the best in the industry."
