Abstract:

Computer simulation has become a well-established tool for prediction and analysis of the electromagnetic
behavior of a wide range of electronic devices and systems. In many applications computer simulation not only
allows investigations without the need of building a prototype but also gives a deeper insight in what is going on in a system
than measurements could do. For this reason, not only obtaining correct results is of importance but also their
presentation in diagrams and pictures and movies is essential in order to understand the electromagnetic
behavior of the system under investigation.

In his talk Prof. Singer will introduce the most important simulation methods, focusing on the Method of Moments,
and give some examples of state-of-the-art EMC simulations. These will include emission and susceptibility of PCB structures,
analysis of shielding effectiveness, research on wiring in automobiles, analysis of antennas on ships and large commercial airplanes."
