pylobe 0.1.0

Antenna design and electromagnetic simulation library

PyLobe

Comprehensive antenna design, electromagnetic simulation, and AI optimization in Python.

PyLobe covers the full antenna engineering workflow, from a frequency + substrate specification to a verified, export-ready design, with analytical closed-form models, Method of Moments (MoM), and 3-D FDTD solvers, publication-quality visualization, multi-algorithm optimization, and neural inverse design.
