5G Phased Array Antennas - Simulation Essentials

Broadcast is now starting. All attendees are in listen-only mode. Hi, everybody. Thanks for joining us for our webinar today. We will get going in one minute. All right. All right. I'll get going now. So greetings to everyone who's joined us today.

We're going to be speaking about 5G phased array antenna simulation essentials. Our presenter will be Mohamed Sameh. This is Chris Cowan here, and I'm going to give a quick introduction to my company, Ozen Engineering, about our capabilities and technology.

We sell ANSYS software, hold training classes at our facility online and at remote facilities, provide technical support to our customers, and offer engineering consulting services.

If you have a project that you're having trouble setting up or want to kickstart a project or don't have software in the first place, please contact us about engineering consulting services.

We work with the full suite of ANSYS products, including fluids, structures, electronics, optics, and multi-physics combinations of those. We also offer cloud services, including ANSYS Cloud. If you're interested in trialing either of those, please contact us.

We generally do a webinar every Wednesday or every other Wednesday at 11 a.m. Pacific time. Upcoming topics include today's and through the remainder of the year. All of these topics are available for download, including those on the right, from our website at www.ansys.com.

You can subscribe for any of the upcoming webinars. If you'd like to receive a monthly newsletter from Ozen Engineering, you can subscribe on our website. ANSYS has been putting a lot of effort recently into building up cloud solve capability.

This is really the future, the way that people will be using the software. We're hoping to see that ongoing in the future. So why work with cloud? Most importantly, one-click burst to cloud capability.

You can have mediocre hardware on site and still solve large, complicated problems using the cloud. You get to choose ANSYS offers different varieties of hardware that you can use based on number of cores and quantity of cores.

You can choose the most appropriate based on how large your problem is and how quickly you need it solved. ANSYS cloud offers web-based 3D post processing. You can upload your file to the cloud, solve it, and do all your post processing online. This solution is an easy way to get started.

It's intended for ANSYS. It's made by ANSYS. It's a single solution. It's streamlined, and it works, so you don't have problems operating or configuring this.

And by the way, if anyone is interested in a free trial of cloud, please contact Ozen Engineering, and we'll be happy to set you up with that. So you can reach us by email at info@OzenInc.com, call us directly, or submit a form through our website.

On top of that, we're always looking for mechanical and electrical engineers. So if you're interested, please send in a resume. On to our presenter, Mohamed Sameh. He's been working in the antenna and RF development field for 20 years in the wireless industry.

He serves as a technical consultant for topics related to 5G, Internet of Things, system simulation, and testing and certification. Over those 20 years, he's been working with ANSYS Electromagnetics Tools with a lot of time put in on HFSS for antenna design.

He has a number of patents and publications, is a member of the IEEE and AMTA, and has earned his PhD in electrical and computer engineering from Ohio State University. So without further ado, I'll turn this over to Sameh, so he can continue with the presentation.

Thanks for your attention, everybody. Thank you, Chris. And hello, everyone. We're happy to present for you today some capabilities ANSYS tools have to help phased arrays, phased array antennas for 5G applications. So, let me try to share the screen here. So, I don't see your screen yet, Sameh.

Yeah, I'm... Okay. So, do you see it now, Chris? I see it in presenter mode. Change to the screen. Okay. Perfect. Thank you.

So, our agenda today is to take a snapshot on 5G promises and needs, categorize phased array antennas, and dive deep into our simulation essentials for phased arrays using ANSYS tools. So, let's start with the first one, which is the promises and needs of 5G. 5G promises capacity
