Antenna arrays

This article concerns the design of a X-Band squintless horn antenna array consisting out of 96 radiating elements. The full design of the 2.4m antenna blank (including the simultaneous excitation of all 96 arms) has been performed within CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®. The simulated results have been in an excellent agreement with compact range measurements. Read full article..

An RFID Reader Antenna with the following specifications was designed: - Frequency: 908.5 - 914 MHz (In Korea) - VSWR: less than 2 with 50-ohm impedance - Polarization: circular - Axial ratio: less than 3 dB @ 908.5 - 914MHz - Gain: 6 dBi @ 1W transmitted power - Size and weight: as small as possible This article is published with the permission and courtesy of Prof. Bierng-Chearl Ahn and his colleagues at Chungbuk University, Korea.

This article demonstrates the application of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (CST MWS) to the analysis of large reflector feed arrays. An array consisting of 19 elements was simulated but a larger array of more than 100 elements may also be simulated since the memory scaling with mesh cells in CST MWS is almost linear. The simultaneous excitation feature in CST MWS was applied to obtain farfield patterns in just a single simulation. A parameter sweep was also carried out to obtain the S-Parameters as a funtion of element feeding postion. Read full article..

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. Read full article..
