Optical Yagi–Uda Antenna

Application ID: 109961


This model demonstrates the use of boundary element method in the Electromagnetic Waves, Boundary Element interface to model an optical Yagi-Uda antenna. The antenna is driven by an electrical point dipole, which is implemented through the background field. The field distribution around the antenna as well as the far-field radiation pattern is evaluated, showing high directivity.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
