Ultra-Wide Band Elliptical Antenna

WIPL-D is a frequency-domain software while the simulated antenna is broad-band (the operating band is from 5 GHz up to 14 GHz). In general, simulation of UWB devices is more demanding in the frequency-domain simulation software, owing to the fact that larger number of frequency points should be simulated.

Several features are used to improve simulation time and requirements: usage the Method of Moments with unique application of higher order basis functions, symmetry which halves number of unknowns, and decreased number of frequency points due to built-in interpolation of results.

The UWP elliptical antenna is electrically small structure and requires very low number of unknowns. With the code efficient execution on multicore CPUs, the simulation is performed on inexpensive desktop quad core CPU. It laste couple of seconds per frequency point.
