What is HFSS?

HFSS (High-Frequency Structure Simulator) is a 3D electromagnetic (EM) simulation software for designing and simulating high-frequency electronic products. It is widely used in the design of antennas, RF/microwave components, high-speed interconnects, and other electronic devices where electromagnetic performance is critical. HFSS employs methods like the finite element method (FEM) to solve Maxwell's equations, providing accurate predictions of device behavior, including signal integrity, EMC/EMI, and antenna radiation patterns.
