An antenna can have excellent impedance and radiation characteristics when designed in isolation. However, antennas are never in isolation and the effect of surrounding environment must be considered during the design stage. This makes the in-situ or the antenna placement analysis as important as the antenna design. In this presentation, a complete design life cycle of an antenna will be presented, starting from the standalone design to the in-situ analysis. Speaker(s): Gopinath Gampala, Dr. C.J. Reddy of Altair Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/463847

The workshop focuses on creating 3D scientific illustrations using Blender.
