Tema 3 RA Software Exercices

This document describes MRADANT-UPM software that can design multilayer reflectarray antennas. The software allows the user to define antenna geometry, feed position, periodicity, size and then adjust patch dimensions to produce a focused or shaped beam. It evaluates radiation patterns including co-polar and cross-polar components considering feed power. Reflectarray elements are stacked patches of variable size. The software takes in required phase distributions, models incident fields, produces ideal radiation patterns, calculates phase curves and losses, identifies phase errors, generates photo-etching masks, and simulates reflected fields and radiation patterns.

Multilayer Reflect-Array: Design and ANalysis Tool From UPM


(MRADANT-UPM)

• This is a software tool to design multilayer reflectarray antennas, i.e. to define


the antenna geometry, feed position, period, reflectarray size and finally to adjust
all the patch dimensions in order to produce the required focused or shaped
beam. From the dimensions of the metallizations in each layer, the photo-etching
masks are also obtained.
• Once the reflectarray antenna has been fully designed, the program evaluates
the radiation patterns, including co- and cross-polar components. The feed-horn
is modeled as a cosq() function. The radiation patterns are computed in gain
(dBi), by taking into account the total power radiated by the feed-horn.

• The reflectarray elements are stacked patches


of variable size
