We had some great talks today during the MW & RF sessions at the SIMULA_RUM in Eurocentral. Make sure to catch up on them once the recordings are available! Here’s some of my take-aways:

5G-Coverage: A comprehensive illustration of how the indoor coverage of access points, placed at different positions in complex and dynamic environments, could be simulated. This shows the possibilities with the new GO solver as well as the post-processing for the different characteristics of spatial channels in CST Studio Suite. 

Antenna array simulation using domain decomposition: A modelling and simulation workflow was demonstrated to quickly generate complex array simulation projects. Benchmarks of the new DDM solver were presented against the established time domain solvers (TLM and FIT) by using a “real-world” MIMO array. These results provide confidence in the complete technology of  CST Studio Suite.

Civil and military high power electromagnetic protection planning: Advanced measurements and challenging simulation environments were presented for various high power EM scenarios. This illustrated the advantage of using simulation before stepping out into the ocean of uncertainties when measuring.

Non Parametric Shape Optimization of Electromagnetic Components: A comprehensive introduction into the benefits of the sensitivity analysis, which are exploited by both parametric and non-parametric optimizers. The new and powerful functionality for shape optimization using Tosca and CST Studio Suite were demonstrated.

10 dB Emission Suppression in low index 3D Quasiperiodic Structures: In this talk it was showed how a stochastic superposition of periodic structural distributions could improve the bandgap performance with low index materials.

Investigating nanoporous gold structure for its unique optical properties: Very interesting characteristics emerge when looking at gold structures in the K-space. This knowledge are again applied in photonic applications.
