Abstract
A LabVIEW based general purpose module to understand and visualize the electromagnetic field patterns inside the commonly used microwave devices is developed. The module provides both the electric and magnetic field patterns for any arbitrary mode configuration inside the rectangular waveguide and the cavity, which are the microwave devices mostly being taught at the undergraduate levels in the electrical engineering. The developed module helps the user in gaining a better and deeper understanding of the electric and magnetic field patterns and modes inside the guiding and closed structures.
Highlights
The modern day tools of today’s Electrical Engineer such as the wireless communications, RF and MicrowaveCircuits, etc. require engineering students to have deeper understanding of the concepts related to the electromagnetic theory and microwave techniques
The development of Virtual RF and Microwave Laboratory at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur is the first step in this direction, where the main aim is to help the students in understanding the basic concepts of electromagnetic field theory and microwave engineering using a number of developed visualization modules
The developed virtual lab is aimed at assisting the student through simulation and virtual experiments using a number of microwave devices
Summary
The modern day tools of today’s Electrical Engineer such as the wireless communications, RF and Microwave. To the best of our knowledge, the visualization tools or the virtual experiments have till not been developed to visualize the electromagnetic field patterns inside various structures such as rectangular waveguides and cavities at microwave frequencies. The understanding of these field patterns, and to know their significance, is obviously the first and the foremost step in order to gain deep knowledge about the operation of various RF and microwave structures. A general purpose simulation module using LabVIEW is developed to visualize and understand various electromagnetic field patterns inside a rectangular waveguide and the microwave cavity resonator.
