RF Digital Twins for Wireless Communications and Radar Applications Modern radar and wireless communications systems increasingly rely on highly programmable, wideband beamforming platforms that must support diverse applications, operating environments, and lifecycle requirements.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting our Controls and Real-Time Simulation with MATLAB & Simulink in-person meetup in Budapest, in collaboration with MathWorks and Speedgoat, bringing together engineers and industry professionals from across Hungary and the CEE region.

One of the key themes throughout the day was the importance of connecting Model-Based Design, systems engineering, and real-time testing into a seamless development and validation workflow. As AI continues to evolve, its greatest potential lies not in replacing engineers, but in helping them work more efficiently—accelerating simulation-driven development, improving traceability, and enabling better engineering decisions with confidence.

A special thank you to our guest speakers Stefan Brenner, Dhruv Chandel, PhD and Sonja Krzok for sharing their expertise and helping make the event a success. We also appreciate everyone who took the time to attend, ask questions, and contribute to the conversations throughout the day.

We're excited to continue supporting engineering teams across the region with innovative solutions and look forward to seeing you at future SciEngineer events.

Developing advanced hearing aid technology requires balancing performance, power efficiency, and development speed.

GN Hearing used Simulink and Mixed-Signal Blockset to model and validate wireless communication systems before silicon implementation, helping engineers identify issues earlier and optimize designs with greater confidence.

The outcome:

• Shortened design time by months
• Reduced the need for costly ASIC prototypes
• Lowered power consumption and improved battery life

Researchers used COMSOL Multiphysics® to develop and validate a 3D finite element model of a differential photoacoustic cell. By optimizing the acoustic buffer geometry, they reduced background noise and increased the signal-to-background ratio from 1.56 to 57.7— an approximately 37-fold improvement.

The study demonstrates how validated virtual prototypes can uncover performance improvements that would be difficult and costly to achieve through physical testing alone.
