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.
