چکیده
FEMLAB and MicroWaveLab, two finite element solvers, are evaluated in the context of needs of microwave power engineering. Limitations of the codes are identified by simulation of characteristics of applicators based on circular and rectangular waveguides as well as coaxial-to-ridgedand coaxial-to-double-ridged waveguide transitions. Results are verified by QuickWave-3D.
