THMA13: Model-Based RF System Design and Simulation

Presentation Abstract
Modeling and simulation of antennas, arrays, and RF front-ends are crucial for successful wireless systems in communications and sensing. A top-down system-level approach, flexible in using full-wave EM models, behavioral models, and measured data, enhances RF system design. The goal is to make this approach accessible to engineers of all experience levels, enabling them to derive meaningful insights. This microapp showcases such a modeling paradigm. It features the use of an extensive component catalog for describing RF front-ends, with streamlined workflow for analysis and simulation, and enabling modeling options that weave in MATLAB-based scripting workflows into Simulink circuit-envelope based simulations.
