Get Started
The newFASANT User Guide contains examples with step-by-step instructions on how to get started with newFASANT.
Examples
The newFASANT User Guide contains a collection of examples that teaches you newFASANT concepts and essentials.
Utilities
The newFASANT utilities allows you to set up a remote server, use the batch utility to mesh and execute a project or upload a project to a queueing system.
GUI
An overview of the newFASANT graphical user interface is given.
Post-Process
Results can be post-processed to obtain customized results.
Antennas
A large collection of antennas are supported as well as importing radiation patterns and specifying the antenna feeding.
Materials
Materials can be defined, edited, deleted and assigned to specific surfaces or objects.
Command Line
The command line can be used to draw geometries or change the GUI configuration.
GTD
GTD can be used for 3D analysis of on board antennas and coverage parameters for radiocommunications systems.
PO
PO is used for radar cross section analysis of electrically large and complex targets using physical optics (PO).
GTD-PO
GTD-PO combines the GTD and PO high-frequency techniques for the RCS analysis of complex bodies as well as antenna and radio propagation in large urban environments.
MONCROS
MONCROS is used for 3D radar cross section (RCS) using the method of moments (MOM) technique.
MOM
MOM is used for the 3D analysis of complex antennas, on board antennas, electromagnetic compatibility and radar cross section (RCS).
Periodical Structures
Periodical structures is used for the analysis and design of reflection and transmission coefficients in periodical structures and metamaterials.
Parabolic Equation
PE is used for the analysis of radio-wave propagation over land and sea for medium and large distances.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is used for the 3D analysis of ultrasound emitting sources and time delay response simulation.

RCS Menu

This menu lets the user modify the settings for the RCS radar being used in this simulation, as well as other parameters related to the plane wave. To enter RCS settings, go to RCS > Parameters.

Figure 1. RCS Menu

Selecting the RCS → Parameters option will show the following panel.

Figure 2. RCS Parameters Panel

The following settings are available:

RCS Type: The RCS can either be monostatic or bistatic depending on whether the radar transmitter and the radar receiver are co-located or not.
ETheta and EPhi: These parameters define the polarization wave for the plane wave.
Tx-Rx Angle: The user is able to define this value when the RCS is set to monostatic.
Angle of incidence: The user is able to define this value when the RCS is set to bistatic.
Output currents: This option configures that the current distribution over the surfaces could be shown in the Result menu when the analysis finish.

The kind of observations available in the Output menu depends on the RCS Type selected in this window. Bistatic RCS allows Observation Points where as Monostatic RCS doesn't. Therefore, if RCS is changed from Bistatic and Monostatic the user wil have to confirm the operation, since any previously defined Observation Points will be removed.
