MITH
More transmitted
power guarantees
better
performance.
REALITY
False. Performance
depends on how
electromagnetic
fields are shaped
and controlled.
REALITY
Geometry is
everything.
Even small variations drastically change radiation patterns and coupling.
Electromagnetic Engineering: MYTH vs. REALITY
Are you still oversimplifying electromagnetic design?
Myth #1: Power vs. Performance
MITH
Antenna shape is
secondary as long
as frequency is
correct.
The Science: Field distribution, impedance matching, and coupling define efficiency far more than raw power.
Expert Insight: At Free Space, we engineer the field, not just the source.
Myth #2: Geometry doesn’t matter
Myth #3: Simulation is just validation
MITH
Simulations are
only for checking
designs at the
end.
REALITY
In advanced EM
engineering,
simulation is the
design process.
The Science: Current distribution defines radiation.
Metastructures allow precise field manipulation beyond classical designs.
Our approach: Custom geometries designed through full-wave simulations.
Myth #4: Materials are passive
MITH
Materials just
support the
structure.
REALITY
Materials define
electromagnetic
behavior.
The Science: Permittivity, permeability, and losses directly control resonance, bandwidth and efficiency.
Innovation: Metamaterials and engineered surfaces enable functionalities impossible with conventional materials.
The Science: Numerical models (FEM, MoM, FDTD)
allow solving Maxwell’s equations in complex
environments.
Our approach: Physics-driven modeling from concept to optimization.
Myth #5: One design fits all
MITH
A good antenna
works everywhere.
REALITY
Performance is
always context-dependent.
The Science: Environment, coupling and boundary
conditions reshape EM behaviour.
