SRACS - Self Resonant Air Coil Solver

SRACS calculates the resonant frequencies and quality factors of self-resonant air-coils.

You are now following this Submission

SRACS is a collection of functions for the analysis of self-resonant air-coils. It was developed for the analysis of wireless power transfer systems, but may be suitable for other applications like metamaterials made of quasi-periodic resonator structures.
SRACS can compute nearly rotational symmetric wire coils, like spirals, screws or more complex structures with an arbitrary winding function.
SRACS consists of a very fast solver for eigenfrequencies, a post-processing routine to compute the quality factor and a system solver to examine magnetically coupled systems of resonators. For the computation of losses, skin-effect, proximity-effect and radiation are taken into account.
