What We Do
We invent
and commercially develop
electromagnetic software packages,
of the QuickWave series and apply to
electromagnetic research and industrial
design
What Is QuickWave
QuickWave
is a cutting edge software which
makes possible electromagnetic analysis
and reliable design
without hardware prototyping
QuickWave-3D
QW-3D - Our Flagship Product
A general-purpose 3D electromagnetic software
Includes QW-Editor and QW-Simulator, in a full 3D regime
QW-V2DA vector 2D electromagnetic software
applicable to the analysis of axisymmetrical devices
(antennas-as big as 150 wavelength or more!, resonators,
circular waveguide discontinuities). Includes QW-Editor and QW-Simulator,
working in a vector 2D regime
QW-Editor
A graphical editor for definition of geometry, media, I/O parameters and postprocessing. It comprises a library of parameterised objects and a capability for generating further objects and libraries. Conversion to and from CAD formats is also facilitated.
QW-Simulator
A unique, conformal FDTD solver. Its output data include
multi-modal, multi-port S-matrices, radiation and scattering patterns, pattern of field, dissipated power, time-domain reflectometry etc.

Examples of Application (ex.5)
Dielectric waveguide coupler - a tutorial example from QW-3D manual
Low-permittivity dielectric cross with high-permittivity slab
Fundamental mode pattern at 96.7 GHz
Envelope of vertical E-field at 95 GHz
Wide-band S-parameters indicating power loss due to higher modes and /or
radation
Examples of Application (ex.6)A tutorial example of TDR from QW-3D manual
A strip-line structure terminated with a narrow grounded strip; lower half due to magnetic symmetry condition considered
Time-domain electric (above) and magnetic (below) fields revealing location and kind of the discontinuity
Examples of Application (ex.7)Thawing a beefburger in a household oven; QW-3D with QW-BHM
Left: system view
Right: dissipated power patterns through beef and bread, produced by QW-3D under the assumption of constant media parameters at either -20 deg or +20 deg.
Left: temperature-dependent media characteristics automatically considered by QW-BHM option
Right: resulting temperature pattern produced by QW-3D with QW-BHM. Due to thermal runaway effect, after 35 sec. of heating a hot spot is created in bread while beef remains frozen.
