Cassegrain Antenna – General Info

The application note contains basic information about this type of reflector antennas. The WIPL-D MoM implementation is particularly well suited for simulation of reflectors, which is elaborated in details (quadrilateral elements of 2 lambda by 2 lambda, up to the 8th expansion order, adjusted for reflectors).

The approaches for building the model are specialized geometrical objects in WIPL-D Pro, import from a CAD file or user-defined shape (script file).

The results (200 lambda reflector in Ka band) demonstrate that it is possible to simulate very large reflector antennas in WIPL-D software by using regular desktop PC, especially if equipped with low end Nvidia GPU cards.
