This talk will focus on advanced CEM simulation tools that incorporate numerical methods, such as Method of Moments (MoM), Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM), Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD), Physical Optics (PO), Ray Lunching Geometrical Optics (RL-GO), and Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD). As the complexity of connected devices increases each day, designers are taking advantage of AI/ML to generate trained models for their physical antenna designs and perform fast and intelligent optimization on these trained models. Using the trained models, different optimization algorithms and goals can be run quickly, in seconds, that can be utilized for comparison studies, stochastic analysis for tolerance studies etc. Use of cloud computing combined with AI/ML, many design iterations can be performed in a short period and reducing the time to market. This talk will also focus on future trends in cloud computing for physics-based simulations and the emerging topics such as Digital Twins. The benefits of IEEE MTT/AP membership for student branches and YP will be presented after this talk. Two talks and one open discussion followed by a networking event are scheduled : – 16H30 : “Pushing the Boundaries of Computational Electromagnetics: Application to Antenna Designs, Placement, Co-site Interference Simulations and Digital Twins” Presented by Dr. C.
