Traditional coil inductance calculations often rely on simplified approximations. AN-SOF offers a more accurate approach by considering factors like non-uniform magnetic fields, conductor losses, and complex coil geometries. By using AN-SOF, you can obtain precise inductance values, visualize magnetic field and current distributions, to improve your coil designs.

Unleash the power of your AN-SOF simulations! This article explores the software's data export features, enabling you to seamlessly transfer results to spreadsheets for further analysis, report generation, and clear communication of your antenna design findings.

Discover how AN-SOF's project merging feature enhances antenna design flexibility, unlocking new possibilities.

Radiating towers or radio masts can be modeled in AN-SOF with a high degree of detail, as shown in the figure below. Since we already know the omnidirectional shape of the radiation pattern, what interests us is to calculate electric field values at ground level for a given input power.

Explore how AN-SOF simplifies the process of modeling transformers and baluns with implicit techniques. Learn to transform antenna impedance using equivalent circuits. A must-read for engineers and RF enthusiasts!

From the far field point of view, the whole structure of an antenna and its surroundings is reduced to a single point at the origin (X,Y,Z) = (0,0,0).

We see that most of the time we are interested in calculating only the E-field in antenna projects when we are talking about the near field. For this reason, we have added an option to enable or disable the automatic calculation of the H-Field.

Refine AN-SOF antenna simulations. Identify and resolve errors with precision, ensuring model integrity.

It is important to have control over the scales of the graphs for a better presentation and interpretation of the results. We can adjust the maximum and minimum values of the color bar in AN-3D Pattern to obtain increments in multiples of 5 or the value we want.
