Abstract

This code is used for developing the project entitled “Study on conformal antennas, proof of concept prototype for a UAV”, from the aspects of theory, design, and implementation. This code aims to speed up the investigation of an arbitrary phased array antenna and the integrated system by calculating the farfield radiation pattern of one scanning angle in very few seconds, considering the polarized elements, and parametrically defining an array topology. It is particularly suitable to analyze complicated concave and convex surfaces for real applications, as well as large-scale arrays. It can be also easily integrated with other analysis/synthesis methods such as “element switching method”, “amplitude tapering method”, and convex optimization algorithm. Detailed examples are provided in this code for demonstration. Project funding body: Armasuisse Projects (No.8003518609, 8003521510, 8003525429, 8003529739, 8003532452)
