Infinite Periodic Boundary Conditions in FEKOAbstract
Infinite periodic boundary conditions (PBC’s) implemented in FEKO are presented. To enable the analysis of a wide variety of problems, the PBC includes dielectric objects, metallic surfaces, metallic wires and connection points between wires and surfaces. In addition, the geometry is allowed to touch the periodic boundaries (i.e. continuous current flow onto the neighboring cell which requires special basis function treatment).
