WEMA19: Efficient approach to Microwave and RF Design for Space Applications.

Presentation Abstract
Typical communication systems designed for space applications involve a large amount of microwave and RF components that need to be accurately modeled and designed which could lead to protracted design cycles if a fragmented approach is used. A process which approaches this design from a unified methodology is therefore needed. In this presentation we will discuss how Electromagnetic simulation software can be used in a hybrid unified approach to simulate all the different components together as a result of the fact that the disparate parts of such a system typically have unique simulation techniques that provide efficient analysis.
