Antenna Placement and Interference Analysis in 3DEXPERIENCE

Technology trends as the connected aircraft are transforming the way we communicate on and with an aircraft. The connected aircraft makes flights safer by upgrading air traffic management systems, allows for predictive maintenance, improves fleet management, flight operations, and aircraft turnaround time, and finally, it reduces operational costs and offers more passenger entertainment.

Among other technical solutions, the connected aircraft relies on seamless high-speed connectivity in the sky. Wireless technology is one of the backbones of high-speed connectivity. It helps enable radio links between aircraft, drones, satellites, ships and ground stations. Installed antennas are key elements in establishing wireless links. Designing antennas and their integration on aircraft and spacecraft is a challenging task. Antenna requirements must be met, installed antenna performances must be satisfied, and connected radios must work without degradation.

Electromagnetic modeling and simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform is transforming antenna design, placement and integration workflows.  In this webinar, we will present an aircraft antenna placement and interference analysis MODSIM workflow in 3DEXPERIENCE® based on the native Antenna Placement app. All aspects from project & requirements management to model idealization, to antenna installation, to interference analysis will be covered.
