Hi Expert Feko,

Good day,

 

I would like to know how to design an array antenna from a design of single antenna operates at 2.6Ghz, how we want to transform and copy the single antenna so that we can make it array, in CST it has the transform and copy button so that we did not need to design it repeatedly the patch on top of the substrate, so hopefully that you guys can help me by providing some step.

 

Thank You.

 

Attach here is my single antenna

    Hello,

     

    FEKO offers various options for simulation of arrays. These are nicely summarised in the webinar recording: Efficient Antenna Array Modelling.

    https://altairhyperworks.com/ResourceLibrary.aspx?keywords=antenna+array&category=Webinar+Recordings

     

    From a modelling point of view FEKO offers the copy and translate option, but I am also attaching a macro that you can use to build your array, which will also duplicate the antenna ports and give you options for different feed distributions, etc.

    Thank You, sir.

     

    I Have already viewed the video, and I would like to know if there is an example video that provides the design of antenna array 2x2 with power divider. I have already designed the full array 2x2 in other software and already fabricate it. and I would like to try design using FEKO. do you have any video example on how to design array 2x2 with power divider in FEKO?

     

    attach is the example of array 2x2 with power divider.

     

    hope you can help me. thank you for your kind help.

    You can find an example of  a power divider in the Examples Guide examples:
    Example-E04-Non_Radiating_Network_Modeling_of_a_Feed_Structure

     

    Its not exactly the same as the power divider in your photo, but it should give you some idea how to approach the simulation of the structure.
