Accelerating antenna pattern analysis and simulation with MATLAB

Giorgia Zucchelli, Product Manager for RF and MIXED-SIGNAL, Mathworks

Characterizing and measuring antennas and antenna arrays can be a time-consuming and error-prone task, particularly when working with highly programmable phased array systems. In this presentation, discover how MATLAB can streamline the antenna characterization, including processing S-parameters and far-field radiation patterns. Focus is put on building the full 3D radiation pattern from a subset of 2D pattern measurements using both analytical methods and AI techniques. Additionally, learn how to integrate the measured data into a systemlevel simulation model for wireless communication and radar systems.

Key Takeaways:

  • Streamline antenna characterization data using MATLAB.
  • Reconstruct 3D radiation patterns using advanced techniques.
  • Integrate antenna data into system-level simulations for wireless communication and radar system design.
