Using the RF Module in the classroom
Thermal expansion caused by RF heating in a coil.
Because this module is based on Maxwell’s equations as presented in classic textbooks on electromagnetic fields and waves, both the practicing engineer and the student readily recognize the language and concepts describing the modeling interfaces in the RF Module. Yet students will access a tool not limited in any way, the same tool that would be used by researchers and industry engineers. Consider:
- Easy-to-use modeling interfaces—These include TE, TM, and hybrid-wave application modes for transient, harmonic, and scattered harmonic wave propagation as well as eigenfrequency analyses
- Model Library—More than 20 fully documented example models are available from fields such as RF and microwave engineering, optics, and photonics. A selection of tutorial models summarizes the wide-ranging application modes, different boundary conditions, and other features within the RF Module
- Predefined multiphysics couplings—One example consists of special multiphysics interfaces for microwave heating
