This paper presents an overview of selected new modelling algorithms and capabilities in commercial software tools developed by TICRA. A major new area is design and analysis of printed reflectarrays where a fully integrated design environment is under development, allowing…

This paper presents an overview of the last developments in the Electromagnetic Data Exchange (EDX). The EDX is a core activity of the EAML team in collaboration with the Working Group on Software of the European Association on Antennas and…

In this paper, we apply a recently developed 3D source reconstruction algorithm to perform antenna diagnostics on a planar array configuration. The test case is a planar X-band slot array measured in a spherical near-field facility and two slots were…

A general, accurate, and efficient stand-alone commercial program for antenna diagnostics, DIATOOL, has been developed by TICRA. The software reconstructs the field or the equivalent currents on a plane or an arbitrary 3D surface enclosing the antenna. The fundamental properties…

Kriging fitting, originally developed for geological exploitation, is here applied for fitting an expected pattern to noisy, irregular in-flight measurements of a satellite antenna. The noise level in in-flight measurements is often so high that only the central part of…
