Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and Delcross Technologies (Delcross) demonstrated initial integration and capabilities for cosite interference solutions this week at DoD Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Program Review in Orlando, Fla.
Realistic environments containing multiple aggressors (transmitters) and multiple victims (receivers) pose significant engineering challenges with respect to cosite interference. In order to predict cosite interference accurately, a large number of contributing factors have to be taken into account. In particular, the RF performance characteristics of each transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) as well as the wideband coupling/isolation between all antennas must be considered in order to identify and eliminate undesired interference between systems.
CST STUDIO SUITE(r), an integrated software package for accurate and efficient electromagnetic simulation, provides powerful solvers for computing the performance of antennas in their installed environments including radiation patterns and coupling/isolation. Delcross Technologies’ EMIT (Electromagnetic Interference Toolkit) provides a software framework for managing RF system performance data, simulating intra-system EMI effects, and mitigating EMI issues, resulting in a comprehensive model database for predicting cosite interference and exploring effective mitigation solutions.
The collaboration between CST and Delcross will bring together EMIT’s RF system models and predictive engine for quantifying the impact of interference on system performance with the powerful computational electromagnetic solutions of CST STUDIO SUITE. This integration provides a high-fidelity solution for the prediction of cosite interference in complex, RF-dense environments.
