2 | CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION<br />

Note that the model descriptions in this book do not contain every detail on how to<br />

carry out every step in the modeling process. Before tackling these in-depth models,<br />

we urge you to first read the <strong>RF</strong> Module User’s Guide, which introduces you to the<br />

basic functionality in the module, reviews new features in the version 3.5a release,<br />

covers basic modeling techniques, and includes reference material of interest to those<br />

working with electromagnetic field simulations. For more information on how to work<br />

with the COMSOL Multiphysics graphical user interface, please refer to the COMSOL<br />

Multiphysics User’s Guide or the COMSOL Multiphysics Quick Start and Quick<br />

Reference manual. An explanation on how to model with a programming language is<br />

available in yet another book, the COMSOL Multiphysics MATLAB Interface Guide.<br />

The book you are reading, the <strong>RF</strong> Module Model Library, provides details about a<br />

large number of ready-to-run models that illustrate real-world uses of the module.<br />

Each entry comes with theoretical background as well as instructions that illustrate<br />

how to set it up. They were written by our staff engineers who have years of experience<br />

in electromagnetics; they are your peers, using the language and terminology needed<br />

to get across the sophisticated concepts in these advanced topics.<br />

Finally note that we supply these models as COMSOL Multiphysics Model MPH-files<br />

so you can import them into COMSOL Multiphysics for immediate execution,<br />

allowing you to follow along with these examples every step along the way.<br />

Note: The full documentation set is available in electronic formats—PDF and<br />

HTML—through the COMSOL Help Desk after installation.<br />

Model Library Guide<br />

The table below summarizes key information about the entries in the <strong>RF</strong> Module<br />

Model Library. A series of columns states the application mode (such as Perpendicular<br />

Currents) used to solve the corresponding model. The solution time is the elapsed<br />

time measured on a machine running Windows Vista with a 2.6 GHz AMD Athlon X2<br />

Dual Core 500 CPU and 2 GB of RAM. For models with a sequential solution<br />

strategy, the Solution Time column shows the combined solution time for all solution<br />

steps. Additional columns point out the modeling features that a given example
