Periodic array of elements

Mark Mirotznik

I have a simple question. I want to create a finite FSS that is composed of a regular array of simple components (e.g., crosses or tripoles).

I am relatively new to FEKO but do not see an array function that works for specific elements.  The array functions operates on the whole geometry to make an antenna array.  Is it possible to just create a finite periodic array of some element within my geometry?

 

Thanks!

You can use the Generate Antenna Array tool.

You must start with just the antenna alone, as a single part (could be a Union of parts of course)

Then afterwards add the other geometry that is not part of the array.

For example below a 2x2 monopole array with a Cuboid nearby.

The Altair_Feko_User_Guide.pdf contains more info about the tool.
