Advanced Finite Array Simulation Technology

ANSYS HFSS allows for the calculation of finite arrays that include all electromagnetic effects including element-to-element coupling, and the critical edge effects.


Far field antenna patterns of finite array calculated with HFSS. Graph on right shows effect of finite array (solid lines) size on sidelobes when compared to infinite array (dashed lines).

This new technology leverages the repeating nature of array geometries and can be used with our HPC capability to obtain a very fast solution time for large finite arrays.
