Abstract :
The decomposition of the current distribution on an antenna into its so-called Characteristic Modes can offer some intuitive insight into the antenna concept. In this paper a new software currently under development at Kiel university is presented. It includes some parameters derived from the characteristic mode analysis that have proven to be very useful for the design of antennas for smartphones as well as antennas for automotive applications.
