Introduction

This one-day course is open to anyone interested in using the COMSOL Multiphysics RF Module for the mathematical modeling of electromagnetic wave phenomena. You will learn how to build models in Microwave Engineering, Antenna Design and Photonics. This course allows current and potential users of COMSOL Multiphysics and the RF Module to quickly get acquainted with its modeling capabilities. The Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics course is a suggested prerequisite for the RF, Microwaves and Photonics course.

Content Overview

Attendees will work through several example models that will demonstrate how to address electromagnetics simulations in the areas of:

Antenna design

  • Simulation of typical antenna structures
  • Computing impedance, S-parameters, and far-field radiation
  • Modeling of open, radiating domains

Microwave heating

  • Modeling of cavity and waveguide structures
  • Including the effects of RF heating
  • Thermal expansion effects

Resonant structures

  • Computing the resonant frequency and quality factor
  • Modeling of skin and dielectric losses
  • Combining an RF model with a circuit

Instructor

Dr. John Dunec
COMSOL, Inc.

John Dunec received his PhD from Stanford University in 1983. John has over 25 years experience in product analysis and development, first with IBM, then with an early multiphysics startup, then running a product development consulting firm. As a consultant, he was one of COMSOL’s first US customers and is now VP of Sales, NW US and Manager of the Palo Alto office. He has been teaching COMSOL courses throughout the US since 2003.

Suggested Background

This course assumes an electrical engineering background and familiarity with Maxwell's Equations. We strongly recommend that those new to COMSOL Multiphysics take the COMSOL Multiphysics Intensive Training course prior to attending this class.
