Antenna and Array Optimization

Maximize bandwidth, minimize SLL, perform array thinning, maximize F/B ratio

Use the Antenna Designer, the Antenna Array Designer apps or the optimize function at the command line to optimize antenna design for various analysis parameters such as impedance, gain, directivity, current, and charge so on under given constraints. Using the Optimize tab on the apps you can:

  • Optimize antenna and array objects using the antenna optimization algorithm.

  • Input design variables and the objective of the optimization.

  • Produce analysis plots during each iteration and view the results in a single window.
