Open Access CAD, EM tools, and examples for teaching microwaves

摘要

The paper presents an open access software platform for electromagnetic (EM) teaching and dissemination of microwave technology results. The platform is developed within the H2020 MMAMA project. Its core is a licence-free GUI, wherefrom different EM and multiphysics solvers can be launched, under different licence schemes. The tools are supplemented with an expandable database of modelling examples and results, documented in the standardised MODAand Gwyddion formats. The presented examples range from the Basic Microwave Course, whose elements have been used for 25 years in teaching at the Warsaw University of Technology, to the modelling of calibration standards for microwave microscopy of materials.
