Technical Article: Electromagnetic Simulation Of Mobile Phone Antenna Performance

By Omid Sotoudeh, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications and Tilmann Wittig, CST GmbH

The telecommunications sector is making great advances aimed at delivering an even stream of high-tech devices, covering the significant consumer demands in this sector. Electromagnetic (EM) simulation is becoming an increasingly important tool in the design flow, not only at the antenna level but also at the phone and environmental levels. This article compares simulated results with measurements for several steps in the phone design chain.
