EM Simulation for Mobile Communications
As mobile communication devices become thinner, smaller and more complex with every generation, designs need to meet new standards of performance. Using electromagnetic (EM) simulation, engineers can not only design and optimize the antenna of mobile devices, but also test its performance within the handset, for example, by evaluating coupling effects and the impact of dielectric materials, and investigating the influence of the human body on performance. Find out more about CST STUDIO SUITE®, an EM simulation tool, by visiting the company’s website.
