Introduction of Course :

This course is intended for people who have had little or no experience with ANSYS HFSS. The ANSYS HFSS course will teach the students how to design and analyze high-frequency electronic components such as antennas, RF/microwave components, and biomedical devices. The course will teach students how to effectively use ANSYS HFSS to setup, solve and post-process the results from high frequency electromagnetic simulations. Prerequisites A technical education and/or background in high frequency electromagnetic is recommended but having an engineering degree is not required. It is also strongly recommended, but not required, that you are familiar with the Getting Started Guides provided with the software.

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:

  • Gain practical skills in antenna design and high-frequency circuit analysis.
  • Learn how to set up simulations, analyze results, and optimize designs for various applications, including radar cross-section (RCS) analysis and healthcare electronics.

  • Gain a solid foundation in electromagnetic theory and how it applies to high-frequency applications.

  • Learn to design, simulate, and optimize various types of antennas, including microstrip antennas, and understanding antenna parameters like radiation patterns, gain, and impedance.
