Specialized Microstrip Antenna Analysis
Software Packages . . .
Below
is our list of microstrip antenna software currently available for sale.
Each package is written in FORTRAN IV, intended for use on a workstation
or fast PC, and is supplied with documentation that describes the input and
output data, gives examples, and the theory of the solution. Fortran source code
is provided, so a Fortran compiler is required to run this software on your
computer. We can also provide modifications to these codes, as well as similar
codes for microstrip antenna, printed dipole, and printed slot antennas and
arrays.
REFADES
and REFAANA: Full-wave
design and analysis of microstrip reflectarrays. Rectangular or square patches
of variable size. Compute required patch sizes, and resulting patterns, gain,
and efficiencies.
Cost:
$3,500.
MSAACE:
Analysis of an aperture coupled microstrip antenna, including input impedance
and front-to-back ratio.
This is the basic aperture coupled configuration, consisting of a single
rectangular patch element on a single layer antenna substrate, with a microstrip
feed line on a separate single layer substrate.
Cost:
$4,500.
INFACE:
Analysis of an infinite array of aperture coupled microstrip antennas vs scan
angle. This
is the infinite array version of MSAACE.
Cost:
$4,000.
RPAC2:
Analysis of an infinite array of aperture coupled rectangular microstrip
antennas with two cross-polarized feed slots, allowing dual-linear or circular
polarization. One feed layer (microstrip), and one antenna layer.
Cost:
$5000.
RPA1
and RPA2: Analysis of
an infinite array of probe-fed rectangular microstrip patches (either one or two
feed probes), using a rigorous feed model.
The geometry can also include a dielectric cover layer separated by an
air gap from the patch element.
Cost:
$4,500.
CPA1
and CPA2: Analysis of
an infinite array of probe-fed circular microstrip patches (either one or two
feed probes), using a rigorous feed model.
The geometry can also include a dielectric cover layer separated by an
air gap from the patch element.
Cost:
$4,700.
FDAO,
FDAR and FDAEP:
A three-program package for the analysis of finite printed dipole arrays,
including input impedance vs scan angle, and active element patterns.
The dipoles are printed on a single layer substrate, and are assumed to
be fed with ideal delta-gap generators.
Cost:
$4,500.
IACPS:
Analysis of an infinite array of stacked aperture coupled rectangular microstrip
antennas, with either microstrip or stripline feeds.
The solution can treat either one or two patches, and up to three
dielectric layers on the antenna side of the substrate.
Stacked patches can be of different sizes, but must be centered.
The coupling slot can be offset from the center of the patch, and the
feedline can be offset from the center of the slot.
Cost:
$4,700.
MSARCSO
and MSARCS:
A two-program package for the analysis of the radar cross section of a
probe-fed rectangular microstrip antenna.
Effect of feed load impedance is included, and program is optimized for
computational efficiency for swept frequency calculations.
Main program also computes input impedance and gain of the element.
Cost:
$4,500.
