YSP 2005 Research Assignment

Finite Difference Time Domain Antenna Simulation
Principal Investigator
Seth Baum
Masters Student
Electrical Engineering
 
Research Abstract
Using a cutting edge proprietary finite difference time domain antenna simulation software package, researchers will design and simulate select antenna and interpret the results. Researchers may compare this work to the experimental setup in CenSSIS's SoilBed facility.

 

Expectations of YSP

Researchers will be expected to grasp basic concepts of antenna theory and numerical simulation, to become proficient at executing numerical simulations, and to interpret simulation results.

Helpful skills or interests
Of primary importance is interest in computer programming. Any programming experience is a huge plus. Additional interest in electrical engineering in general or electromagnetics in specific would help, although this is less important than the programming skills/interest and it may be unlikely that any students will have these interests.
