Problem Description

High frequency RF components typically involve waveguides of various shapes, waveguide filters with irises and posts, slots or transitions from square to circular waveguide and vice versa. Although the mathematics that describe the synthesis of these components is very elegant and highly evolved, good visualisation and optimisation tools are still required to achieve optimum designs. The visualisation of fields inside waveguide components and the optimisation of post size and position are only two examples of requirements that RF component designers set for such tools.

FEKO Solution

FEKO is ideally applicable to the synthesis and optimisation of RF components. Tools that FEKO offers in this field include:

• S-parameter extraction from waveguide ports for component analysis.
• Visualisation of fields internal to components for better understanding of the influence of design features.
• An internal tool for optimisation of designs.
