Pillbox Antenna
17 times 40 wavelengths: This huge Pillbox Antenna was optimised by one of our customers even during the evaluation period of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO. He commented: \"We would not have built and tested the hardware if we had had this software before\".
Figure 1:
The efficient Time Domain Approach of MWS is able to handle this large structure on a normal PC in a few hours calculation time. The cross section of the reflector is defined by a mathematical function and has been imported as a DXF File.
Figure 2:
By calculating the farfield radiation pattern around 30 GHz a misdesign has been detected. The customer was able to optimize the original structure using MWS.

In this article a single periodic open-ended waveguide phased-array antenna with a dielectric radome at its aperture of variable thickness is analysed. As a verification it is shown that the superposition of two independent plane waves shows the same field pattern as the one created by the unit cell model.

A UWB dipole antenna composed of circular arms containing a special feeding system is modeled simulated using CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®, the results of which are presented in this article. The design, developed by IETR-INSA / Thomson R&D France, shows good broadband matching (3-10 GHz) and an omnidiectional radiation pattern up to 6 GHz.

Transmitters used in vehicle environments present potential threats to the health and safety of vehicle users, in terms of both human exposure to electromagnetic fields and vehicle EMC (electromagnetic compatibility). The recently revised automotive EMC directive (2004/104/EC) now requires vehicle manufacturers to identify acceptable frequencies, powers and antenna installations that can be used on vehicles without compromising their EMC performance.
The simulations presented here were performed with CST MICROSTRIPES™.

The telecommunications sector is making great advances aimed at delivering an even stream of high tech devices, covering the significant consumer demands in this sector. EM simulation is increasingly becoming an indispensable tool in the design flow, not only on the antenna level but also on the phone and environmental levels. This article compares simulated results with measurements for several steps in the phone design chain.
