Abstract

The continuous advancement of wireless technology implies that electrical engineering students need a good working knowledge of the basic concepts of electromagnetic and antenna. However, student learning of basic and advanced electromagnetic and antenna are difficult because the fundamental quantities are based on abstract mathematics describing fields and waves which are hard to visualize. The existing system of conventional undergraduate teaching provides little practical experiences through laboratory exercises and direct visualization of electromagnetic fields is not possible. Thus, students have difficulty visualizing the related phenomena in electromagnetic and antenna. Consequently, their understanding and ability to be creative in problem solving in these technical areas will be affected. The use of computer technology for visualization of electromagnetic and antenna phenomena is one of the best vehicles to overcome these difficulties. Hence, a visualization and learning aid software package is recently developed by the authors for educational as well as research purposes. This paper discuss a visualization and learning aid software package for electromagnetic theory and antenna that has been developed to allow for two-dimensional and two-dimensional visualization of the electromagnetic (EM) fields and radiation patterns for different types of antennas.

电磁理论与天线可视化学习辅助软件开发

无线技术的不断发展意味着电气工程专业的学生需要对电磁和天线的基本概念有很好的应用知识。然而，学生学习基础和高级电磁和天线是困难的，因为基本量是建立在描述场和波的抽象数学基础上的，难以可视化。现有的传统本科教学体系很少通过实验室练习提供实践经验，也不可能实现电磁场的直接可视化。因此，学生很难将电磁学和天线学的相关现象形象化。因此，他们在这些技术领域的理解和创造性解决问题的能力将受到影响。利用计算机技术对电磁和天线现象进行可视化是克服这些困难的最佳手段之一。因此，作者最近开发了一个可视化和学习辅助软件包，用于教育和研究目的。本文讨论了一种用于电磁理论和天线的可视化和学习辅助软件包，该软件包已经开发出来，可以对不同类型的天线的电磁场和辐射方向图进行二维和二维可视化。
