Description
Summary:In this paper, the development and importance of commercial and open source electromagnetic simulation software on education, research and industrial design, has been briefly reviewed. The EM simulators are increasingly being used by engineers and researchers in the RF device design, as well as the engineering curriculum. Thus, a study for open source EM simulator was conducted in the university. The study of simulator was created based on the FDTD techniques which are particularly used for solving RF monopole problems; MATLAB graphic user interface feature has been applied. The comparison result between the study simulator and commercial EM simulator are discussed and analyzed.
