Design Capabilities
MegaWave's engineering team understands more than just antennas.
We know how to define requirements, to design"special"antennas for challenging
applications, to analyze the platform and the propagation paths with which
the antenna has to work. In other words, we design antennas as part of a
system, not just as an isolated component.
Some of the codes we use for antenna and propagation analysis are:
Antenna Design:
- NEC-4.1D Moment Method
- XFDTD Finite Difference Time Domain
- Ohio State: Basic Scattering Code, surface patch code, reflector
analysis
Propagation modes:
- Longley-Rice, Wagner/Wagslab, PROPHET, IONCAP, FDMEIGS
Others:
- =SUPERSTAR=, =MATCH= and =FILTER=, matching network synthesis, filter
and multicoupler design
MegaWave designs antennas using sophisticated computer models of both
the antenna and its electrical environment.

Models can be incorporated as components in larger models resulting
in more complex performance predictions....

Everyday design problems can be addressed using computer modeling methods.

And with our ability to get inside a problem, new and improved designs
can be developed...
