UHF Panel Antenna

Ultra-High Frequency Panel antennas (UHFP antennas) consist of radiating surfaces and reflector. They have been used in TV systems. In the application note, it is covered with radome. Coaxial cable is used for feeding.

In order to speed up simulations and to simplify the modelling process, two symmetry planes can be applied. The antenna is simulated in the frequency band 0.47 GHz up to 0.86 GHz. The powerful built in interpolation algorithm allows simulation in minimum number of points.

WIPL-D successfully analyzes this antenna for only a a fragment of second on any standard desktop or laptop owing to the efficient implementation of the default simulation Method of Moments. WIPL-D uses unique higher order basis functions which allows modelling of large mesh elements (up to 2 wavelengths). Also, the mesh is realized via generalized quadrilaterals so the code requires two times less unknowns than for the standard triangular mesh. No bounding box is required for open region problems.
