This paper discusses a novel method for computing aperture radiated fields by means of two new types of circular domain beams with azimuthal phase variation. These circular domain beams rigorously respect the wave equation and in their vector form, Maxwell’s…

This paper gives an overview of the antenna software benchmarking activity that took place within the Software Group of the EurAAP association in 2009. A particular focus is brought to one of the proposed test case that consists of a…

A new design approach and an associated software tool for conical corrugated horn antennas has been developed in a joint TICRA-Thales Alenia Space-ESA project. The software is developed such that it supports the user in designing an optimized horn antenna…

An accurate and efficient numerical model is developed to simulate the far field of an antenna under test (AUT) measured in a Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR), on the basis of the known quiet zone field and the theoretical aperture…

It is important to know the antenna patterns for the Planck Space Telescope with high accuracy for detectors operating at frequencies from 30 to 857 GHz. This could not be achieved with sufficient accuracy on ground as the working temperature…
