Course Overview
HFSS SBR+ Indoor Wireless starts with the set up and simulation of antenna near fields and shooting and bouncing ray simulation throughout a house. The student will learn how to import CAD models, assign boundary conditions, and evaluate different antenna sources and results, such as near-field contour plots as well as antenna-to-antenna coupling. Modules 1 and 2 guide the student through the workflow and provide context on efficiency, accuracy and run times. Modules 3 and 4 discuss accuracy compared to full wave techniques with the goal of obtaining far-field patterns used to represent transceivers in complex scenes.
Prerequisites
- No prior HFSS experience required
- Ansys HFSS for Antenna Design and Ansys HFSS SBR+ Antenna Placement are highly recommended courses.
- Knowledge of electromagnetics and antenna principles, including near field and far fields, is required.
Target Audience
Electronic engineers working with wireless devices in consumer home environments, from device design engineers to systems engineers.
Teaching Method
The course is entirely based on self-paced video lectures which include workshop examples demonstrated. Workshop simulation files are provided, and, in most cases, you should follow along with the videos.
