ARRAY - Phased Array Antenna Design and Simulation Software
Purpose-built software for phased arrays, 5G/6G base stations, and AESA radar systems.
To be released in 2026.
From element-level to full-wave performance
ARRAY is a complete phased-array software solution for the analysis, synthesis, and full-wave modelling of array antennas. It supports single- and multilayer patch arrays, as well as arrays using horns, helices, and other 3D elements. Whether you are an antenna engineer analysing performance from the element level to full-wave installed conditions, or a systems engineer evaluating high-level trade-offs, ARRAY provides all the tools you need in a single integrated environment.
Why ARRAY
- Unified workflow: Stay within one environment from concept to validated design.
- Accuracy where it counts: From approximate methods to full-wave fidelity.
- Built-in optimisation: Quickly reach the required performance on element and array level.
- Fast design iteration: Accelerate feasibility studies and tender responses.
- Reduce testing and cost: Predict performance reliably and minimise physical prototyping.
- Scalable performance: Efficiently simulate large finite arrays with reduced computational resources.
Key product highlights
- Library of predefined elements for fast project setup.
- CAD editor for full flexibility in geometry definition.
- Combine different elements and layouts freely within one array.
- Array generator with live plot updates and real-time performance feedback for high-level investigations.
- Fast direct solver that analyses large arrays quickly with low memory requirements.
Analyse elements in stand-alone or infinite arrays
Start where array design begins with the element itself. Use built-in templates such as helical or layered patch designs, and a parameterised CAD editor to handle complex geometries. Analyse elements in stand-alone or infinite-array contexts, including active reflection coefficients and embedded element patterns.
Full-wave analysis of finite arrays
Set up array geometries using predefined or custom layouts. Mix element types within one array, for example patch or multi-layer PCB elements used in radar and 6G systems. A highly efficient Fast Direct Solver (FDS) enables short run times and low memory use, even for large arrays.
Analytical arrays for immediate insight
Use Array Generator to set up analytical arrays quickly and get instant feedback during synthesis or early trade-offs. Analytical arrays can be used for optimisation and further analysis.
Advanced geometries and layered media
Model multilayer PCB-based elements with a dedicated layered-media solver. Extend models with external geometries such as radomes to capture their impact on patterns and S-parameters. This approach is particularly suited for planar AESA radar panels, where multilayer substrates and radomes must be modelled with precision.
Native optimisation
Optimise element and array geometries as well as excitation coefficients to meet pattern masks or S-parameter constraints, both passive and active. The software supports phase-only, amplitude-only, amplitude-and-phase combined, and multibeam optimisation. It integrates seamlessly with GRASP, CHAMP 3D, and ESTEAM.
Integrated framework
The ARRAY product is fully integrated into the TICRA Tools framework. Combine ARRAY with CHAMP 3D for efficient design of waveguide and horn arrays, add GRASP for array-fed reflectors, and use ESTEAM to analyse the installed performance of your array.
