Resonant 1D Array

This section explains how to create a resonant slot linear (1D) array antenna fed by a rectangular waveguide.

When the option is selected, the next panel and a previsualization of the antenna with the parameters on the panel are displayed.

  • Position: set the Cartesian coordinates for the position of the antenna. For the antenna, user can select the position with the mouse by selecting the 'Pick' check box and clicking any point in the geometry panel.
  • Dimensions: set the values of the number of slots (Slots), the width and height of the feeding waveguide (a and b), the distance from the start of the waveguide to the first slot center (P), the distance from the end of the waveguide (short) to the last slot center (S) and the separation from the slot center to the broadwall center of the waveguide (g).

For each modification on parameters panel, this previsualization will be updated for the new parameters.
