Whip Antenna Design Calculator Daycounter, Inc.Ī whip antenna also known as a monopole antenna looks capacitive if it is shorter than a quarter wavelength, and is tuned to resonance with a series inductor.

Pasternack's Microstrip Patch Antenna Calculator determines the length and width (in millimeters) of a rectangular patch antenna. Microstrip Patch Antenna Calculator Pasternack Receiving and transmitting antennas must be wound in the same direction, since the wave is polarized. The greater the number of turns the greater the directivity or antenna gain. The conductor width is not of great importance in the design.

Find a tube with a circumference equal to one wavelength, and wrap wire in a helix spaced a quarter wavelength. Helical antennas, invented by John Kraus, give a circular polarized wave. Helical Antenna Design Calculator Daycounter, Inc. Pasternack's EIRP Calculator determines the radiated power given the transmitter power, the cable loss to the antenna and the gain of the antenna. Engineers can then export their antenna design to CST STUDIO SUITE for 3D simulation and integration into full system simulation. It increases efficiency by helping the engineer to make a more informed choice of antenna element, providing a good starting design tuned to the specifications of the application. CST STUDIO SUITE is suitable for designing a wide range of antenna types, including horns, reflectors, wire antennas, printed antennas and arrays.Īntenna Magus is a software tool to help accelerate the antenna design and modelling process.

These can be used to simulate antenna radiation patterns, installed performance and coupling in realistic environments. It also provides, given a beamwidth, the inner and outer radii of beam's coverage.ĬST Studio Suite® is an industry-leading EM simulation tool, with multiple solvers for suitable for a wide range of applications. The Antenna Downtilt and Coverage Calculator (aka Antenna Tilt Angle Calculator) is used to determine the approximate downward angle, measured in degrees, which the transmitting antenna is to be positioned for optimal signal strength and coverage.
