Simulation low frequency ferrite core recieving antenna

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on simulating a low-frequency ferrite core receiving antenna, specifically targeting a frequency of 100 kHz. The user seeks effective software and methods for modeling the antenna's gain and radiation pattern, which is expected to resemble a figure-8 pattern. CST EM Studio was attempted but failed to produce accurate results. Recommendations include modeling a single turn around the ferrite rod to simplify the simulation process.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of antenna theory, specifically dipole antennas
  • Familiarity with CST EM Studio for electromagnetic simulations
  • Knowledge of ferrite core properties and their impact on inductance
  • Basic principles of electromagnetic field modeling
NEXT STEPS
  • Research techniques for modeling ferrite cores in CST EM Studio
  • Learn about simplifying complex antenna models for accurate simulations
  • Explore alternative simulation software for antenna design, such as ANSYS HFSS
  • Investigate methods for calculating antenna gain and radiation patterns
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, antenna designers, and researchers involved in low-frequency antenna simulations and electromagnetic modeling.

Hi everybody
i want to simulate, low frequency ferrite core receiving antenna . but i can't find a good and complete software or method to do this.
what is your suggestion or experience?
thanks for your attention.

Welcome to PF.

We need more details to give better advice.
What frequency band will you cover?

What simulation do you require? Antenna pattern or electrical interface?

The antenna pattern will be a simple dipole.
You can model the ferrite rod as an inductor or a transformer with inductance.
 
thank you.
frequency=100khz
i want to calculate Gain and pattern and i try to do this with CST EM studio. but it can'nt give me a correct figure-8 pattern.
 
The modelling of a multi-turn coil with a ferrite rod core will be difficult with FEM. Some things are better approximated by simpler models.

The radiation pattern will be a figure 8 just like a small loop.
I would suggest you try to model a single turn about the middle of the ferrite rod.

If you cannot get that to work, post the model and poor result as attachments to a post.
