Horn Antenna with Waveguide Port
Contents
Introduction
Abstract:This example illustrates the simulation of an Optimum Gain Pyramidal Horn antenna design based on Antenna Theory and Design by Stutzman & Thiele.The Horn Antenna with Waveguide Port is shown is following figure:
Setup
The setup involves the following steps:
- Drawing Pyramidal Horn Geometry
- Setting up waveguide Port
- Setting up FEM boundary/Padding condition
- Setting up Far Field Sensor
- Running FEM Simulation
Analysis
The results can be categorized as follows:
- Port results
- Radiation results (3D plot)
- Radiation results (2D plot)
Port Results
Frequency: Results in Plot
Propogation Constant
Choosing Propagation Constant from Result type will list two plots again: Discreet and Frequency
Frequency: Results in Plot
Discreet: Results in Tabular form for different frequencies
