Problem Description

The antennnas in the wireless communications industry can broadly be categorized as fixed or mobile in the following applications:

• Broadcasting (Landbased and Satellite TV and Radio)
  
• Telecommunications (Emergency services)
  
• Personal Communication (Mobile Phones, BlueTooth)
  
• Broadband (3G, Wi-Fi, WiMax, UWB for In-building wireless networks, Personal area networking and home media networking)

In terms of complexity these antennas vary from simple monopole, dipole array, aperture (horn antenna), small reflector antennas, through to complex arrays that have many dielectrics and complex feed networks or are integrated with the RF circuit.

FEKO Solution

FEKO provides the following tools for professionals in this industry:

• Optimisation of complex antennas and arrays.
  

• Performance prediction for antennas on mounting platforms.
• Radiation safety analysis for antenna maintanence personnel.
