Modeling and Design Tools for Small Antennas: State of the Art and Future Perspectives [Meeting Report]

This report presents an overview of the convened session of the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EuRAAP) Working Group (WG) on Software and Modeling Tools at the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) 2018 in London, which was held 9–13 April. It briefly discusses the general topic of this year—small-antenna design and modeling tools—by summarizing the four invited papers in the first part of the session and recaps the improved benchmarking effort in response to the benchmarking results of 2016, which was discussed in the second portion of the meeting.
