FEKO®

FEKO is a leading electromagnetic simulation software that uses multiple frequency and time domain techniques.
True hybridization of these methods enables the efficient analysis of a broad spectrum of electromagnetic problems mainly
related to antenna design and placement, scattering, radar cross section (RCS) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC),
including electromagnetic pulses (EMP), lightning effects, high intensity radiated fields (HIRF) and radiation hazard.
