{wiki=Characteristic_mode_analysis}
Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA) is a computational technique primarily used in electromagnetics, particularly in antenna design and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) studies. The method focuses on identifying the fundamental modes of a structure—essentially, the resonant behavior of the physical geometry when subjected to electromagnetic fields. Here are some key aspects of CMA: 1. **Resonant Modes**: CMA seeks to find the resonant frequencies of a structure by analyzing how electromagnetic fields interact with its physical characteristics.
