Online video demonstrations of CADFEKO

Constructing and analysing an L-band horn antenna (6:03, 8.2 MByte)

A video demonstration of how to construct and analyse an L-band horn antenna in CADFEKO.

Creating a spherical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) (11:22, 15.2 MByte)

A spherical dielectric resonator antenna is modelled in FEKO. Parametric geometry parameters are demonstrated. The use of volume meshing (FEM/MOM formulation) is demonstrated. Model available from: "Cross-Polarization Characteristics of a Probe-Fed Hemispherical Dielectric Resonator Antenna", K.W. Leung, K.K. Tse, K.M. Luk, E.K.N. Yung, IEEE Trans. on Antennas and Propagation, Vol. 47, No. 7, July 1999, p 1228

Designing of a microstrip antenna & placement on an aircraft platform with FEKO and Antenna Magus (5:48, 14.2 MByte)

This video demonstrates how the combination of Antenna Magus and FEKO may be used to design an microstrip antenna to specification and to place it on an aircraft platform to evaluate antenna performance in its operating environment.

EMC analysis of a wire inside a metallic box (8:45, 9.8 MByte)

This demonstration models the near fields from a wire inside a metallic box with an aperture. Model available from: "EMI From Cavity Modes of Shielding Enclosures - FDTD Modeling and Measurements", M Li, J Nuebel, J.L. Drewniak, R.E. DuBroff, T.H. Hubing, T.P. van Doren, IEEE Trans. EMC, Vol. 42, No.1, February 2000

Fixing problems with imported CAD (5:04, 11.3 MByte)

Imported geometry may contain faults that may prevent the creation of a valid or homogeneous mesh. This video demonstration shows how to fix some of these problems in FEKO Suite 5.5.

Meshing tools and MLFMM solution of an electrically large structure (4:55, 7.3 MByte)

CADFEKO meshing tools are demonstrated and the usage of the MLFMM with the CFIE for the solution of large models are presented.

Microstrip line spiral inductor (8:31, 9.8 MByte)

The video constructs a spiral inductor in microstrip, demonstrating the geometry, port and solution specification of the circuit. Model reference available from "The Finite Element Method for Modeling Circuits and Interconnects for Electronic Packaging", A.C. Polycarpou, P.A. Tirkas, IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory and Techniques, Vol. 45, No. 10, October 1997

Optimisation of the gain of a bent dipole with plate (4:18, 5.1 MByte)

A bent dipole is placed in front of a metallic plate and the gain of the dipole is optimised to demonstrate the optimisation features of FEKO.

Using the workplane and align tool to place an antenna on a helicopter (3:01, 6.8 MByte)

A basic video demonstration of how antenna placement on a helicopter (or any large structure) may be optimised with CADFEKO.

Waveguide power divider (7:56, 10.7 MByte)

Video demonstration of a 3dB waveguide power divider. This example is also available in the GetStarted.
