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 the best solvers available.
As a result, you can easily model
antennas, waveguides, microwave and
optical components.
The RF Module supports ECAD import via the ODB++ format.
This way printed circuit board (PCB) designs can
easily be imported and analyzed.
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.
