Microstrip Patch Antenna [Verification by Measurement]

Microstrip patch antennas are among the most popular antennas, used in various application areas. Modelling of such antennas is typically straight forward and can be done in WIPL-D general-purpose 3D modeler WIPL-D Pro. More advanced geometries or geometries provided by…

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…

This paper presents the procedure for the design of hyperboloid lens antenna. It contains theoretical consideration and foundation, as well as procedure for design in the WIPL-D software suite. Hyperboloid Lens antenna consists of two parts: feeding cylindrical waveguide and the dielectric lens….

The application note shows the complete simulation process for an antenna designed externally from the WIPL-D suite and provided as CAD geometry (STEP) file. It includes import, healing, adjusting materials, mesh and simulation. Importing the file (in a single click)…

The lenses are antennas designed to collimate incident energy and to prevent it from spreading in undesired directions (the beam focusing). In this application note, we show Luneburg lens illuminated by corrugated horn antenna. The lens is represented as spherically…

The application note presents Smart reduction, a WIPL-D Pro feature, investigated on the model of a frigate warship. The Smart reduction is very suitable for antenna placement problems. Based on adaptive reduction of current expansion order over parts of the…
