Soft for 915 MHz antenna design?

[Guest]

What package is the best for 915 MHz antenna design?

Depending on what type of antenna want to use. For "classical" yagi, logperiodic NEC4WIN would be ideal.

 

[VSWR]

EZNEC Antenna Software would be the choice for you.

You can download a free EZNEC 3.0 demo version from https://www.eznec.com/

SuperNEC has now version 1.53 for free...but it need MatLab to be installed.

and CST Microwave Studio is a choice too...

if you're modelling a "wire" antenna you should use any nec software, I recomend eznec,, its very simple to use

AMAZING! This topic was created 2 years ago!

In my opinion,HFSS,the soft of ansoft ,perhaps is a good choice.

 

[caocao]

Microstrip array is a good choice too

If try to build this antenna by you.

Please use the geometry of yagi antenna 12 element below:

use alumunium 3 mm for all element

the performance of antenna is:

# Driven=1 parasitic=11 total-elements=12 design=915.000MHz
