Modeling in RF, microwave and optical
engineering requires resolving the scale
of the transmitting device while capturing
effects many orders of magnitude
greater. The RF Module offers
you the tools to meet this
challenge, including perfectly
matched layers and the best
solvers availables.
As a result, you can easily model antennas,
waveguides, microwave and optical components.
The RF Module completes the modeling experience by providing advanced postprocessing features such as S-parameter computation and far-field analysis. Taken together with COMSOL’s unsurpassed ability to couple to other physics, you have the industry’s leading multiphysics solution for electromagnetic waves.
New Features in 3.3
The RF Module has been obtained by branching off and enhancing the wave propagation and mode
analysis formulations from the former Electromagnetics Module. New features in the RF Module:
-
Perfectly matched layers (PMLs) for electromagnetic waves
-
Scattered field formulation
-
Eigenfrequency analysis with absorbing boundaries and lossy materials
-
Power levels for ports
-
Improved S-parameter analysis
-
Improved far-field analysis
-
Higher-order vector elements (since 3.2a)
-
Ready-made multiphysics couplings
-
Magnetic frill
-
New models
