Simulating 4D antenna array (time modulated array)
hello everyone
i would like to ask you if it is possible to simulate 4-D antenna array by using FEKO software. since 4-D antenna array uses time (off-on switches), time domain solution is needed.
can we use FDTD to simulate this 4-D antenna array ?
thank you


Hi @oussama1
Currently, FEKO does not support non-linear components like switches. However, it is possible to solve the 2 scenarios independently using 1 model for the switch on state and 1 model for the switch off state.
Hi again
is it possible to use a periodic function in time analysis in post feko? because the time modulated linear array (TMLA) uses periodic sequences (on-off).
it means that I simulate the antenna array in large enough range of frequencies, then in post feko I use the required periodic function for each element. is that possible? if not, I think you should do it possible in future versions of feko because it is so important in simulating TMLA.
hi,
I m still waiting for an answer, please
