  • Abstract
    In this article we have presented some of the more recent modeling options available in FEKO (waveguide ports, combination with FEM, dielectric GO, PBCs, coupling with networks) that are specifically useful to the microwave engineer. In addition to presenting some of the theory, we focused on examples to show the application of each method and discussed their advantages. The examples were kept intentionally simple such that the relevant advantages can easily be highlighted.
