Cassegrain Antennas with Diameters Up to 200 λ

Very large Cassegrain antennas are usually simulated using specialized asymptotic methods. However, WIPL‑D Pro simulates antennas of this type using very accurate and very fast Method-of-Moments with higher order basis functions which results in very high numerical efficiency.

Due to the efficient parallelization on modern multi-core computers, CPU simulations are very fast for problems of this size. Further acceleration can be achieved by using GPU Solver and inexpensive Nvidia GPU cards.

The application note presents number of unknowns and CPU/GPu simulation time for a series of reflector sizes (from 20 to 200 lambda).
