Power dissipated, energy stored and Q-factor values
QuickWave performs the calculation of power dissipated, energy stored, and Q-factors values:
•
in electric and magnetic field (calculated through the integration over the whole circuit)
•
in the lossy volume (space-selective integration)
•
for periodic structures (concernig the real (ReG) or the imaginary (ImG) grid)
Note that spatial integration of power and energy is carried out at each time step, over the whole computational volume.
The values of power dissipated are given in [W] and energy stored in [nJ].
Power dissipated, energy stored, and Q-factor are physically meaningful only with a sinusoidal excitation.
