Context
Simulation is well established as an essential part of the design of modern antennas and antenna systems including installed antennas on a platform and antenna arrays. With its “Complete Technology” and “System Assembly and Modelling” approaches, CST offers state-of-the-art technology to simulate not only the electromagnetic properties, but also the full circuit and system behavior with incomparable speed and flexibility. Evaluation is made easy by using the extensive built-in post-processing capabilities of the software.
Workshop structure
This workshop will consist of various application examples and live demonstrations to illustrate the complete antenna design solution provided by CST STUDIO SUITE®. We will discuss the increasing role of CMA (Characteristic Mode Analysis) in antenna design. The design of multi-element antennas (like phased arrays), as well as the influence of radomes on antenna elements, will be discussed and illustrated by various examples. The integration of multiple antennas on an electrically large platform is a challenging problem which can be made more approachable by using a hybridization solution composed of different numerical techniques. CST STUDIO SUITE® 2017 has seen several significant improvements in this application area which will be described during this workshop.
Program:
- CMA for antenna design
- Radome design for multi-element antennas
- Antenna installed performance evaluation on large structures
