Abstract :
The System Assembly and Modelling framework in CST STUDIO SUITE allows the construction of an entire system consisting of antenna (or multiple antennas), matching or feed networks, and the environment at a schematic and three-dimensional level. From this system level description studies can be derived which allow the user to focus on individual stages of the design, e.g. the antenna on feed network on its own, but also allows these designs be performed in the context of the system. Antenna array designs can be performed at a unit cell and full 3D model level, and the integrated performance of antennas in electrically large environments can be studied. Using an integrated design environment, which enables simulation of antennas across multiple physical domains in multi-scale environments, allows the engineer to work in a flexible and efficient way, and gives opportunities for antenna design which a multiple-tool solution is not able to provide.
