Antenna Design
Feko is used to design a very wide range of antenna types, including wire antennas, microstrip, horn, aperture, lenses, reflector and conformal antennas. Also, phased arrays and with a dedicated and unique solution for windscreen antennas.
Antenna Placement and Coupling
Feko is the leading tool for understanding and optimizing antenna placement and coupling. Installed antenna performance is heavily dependent on how and where antennas are integrated. In other tools an antenna mounted on an electrically large structure can be especially challenging to simulate.
Radio Coverage and Planning
Feko simulates wireless coverage and enables radio network planning for buildings, campuses, cities, or entire nations with Altair® WinProp™ and Altair® WRAP™ modeling for the air interfaces of cellular (with C-V2X and 5G), broadcast, aeronautical, satellite, and wireless communications, plus radar coverage, radio links, and point-to-multipoint.
Spectrum Management
Feko enables the management, planning, and distribution of valuable radio spectrum assets to allow maximum utilization. The WRAP tools for technical analysis of coverage, interference and optimization of the spectrum utilization ensure spectrum regulators can efficiently manage the wide variety and ever-increasing demands of wireless systems.
Radio Frequency Interference
From interferences between multiple transmitters and receivers in a site to broadcasting stations and aeronautical equipment, or wireless networks, Feko’s WRAP capabilities enable customers to anticipate, analyze, and mitigate radio frequency (RF) interference effects including intermodulation, harmonics, antenna coupling, transmitter spectrum, receiver selectivity, and blocking.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Feko is a strong solution for EMC/EMI applications, and is extensively used for immunity and emissions analysis involving cables, antennas, and other devices. It can simulate shielding effectiveness, electromagnetic pulses, lightning effects, high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF), in addition to reverberation and anechoic chambers.

Radomes, Including FSS
Radomes are a multiphysics problem; protecting antennas, contributing to aerodynamic efficiency, and delivering the desired electromagnetic transparency. Feko provides newFASANT models, the fastest solution to analyze radomes, including electrically large problems and frequency selective surfaces.
Scattering and RCS
The scattering performance of an object describes how energy is scattered when an object is exposed to incident fields. Feko enables customers to analyze performance for a wide range of electrical sizes and industries to answer radar cross-sections questions for automotive, energy, communications and defense.
Virtual Test Drives and Flights
To reduce the number of road and flight test miles and increase system robustness virtual test drives and flight tests are essential. Classical antenna parameters are not sufficient for a performance assessment of communication and ADAS radar systems, Feko provides the real-world simulation required.
Radiation Hazard and Bio-Electromagnetics
Radio hazards due to electromagnetic fields have to be within standardized limits for many different applications. Feko automates the simulation and visualization of radiation hazard levels including the calculation of specific absorption rate (SAR) values and human safety guidelines from ICNIRP.
RF Devices
The Altair Partner Alliance (APA) provides access to μWave Wizard It enables rapid microwave circuit design, including filters, resonators, couplers and passive components, thanks to built-in optimizers interacting with hundreds of parameterized RF library elements and user defined structures.
