ARRAY
Purpose-built software for phased-array antenna design, analysis and optimisation, from element level to full-wave installed performance.
Description
ARRAY is a complete phased-array software solution for the analysis, synthesis, and full-wave modelling of array antennas. Whether using simple or stacked patches, horns, helices, or other elements, ARRAY provides fast and accurate analysis with the computational efficiency that characterises TICRA's software. Antenna engineers can analyse performance from element level to full-wave installed conditions, while systems engineers can evaluate high-level trade-offs, all within one integrated environment. The product includes a library of predefined elements, a CAD editor for full geometry flexibility, an accelerated solver for patch arrays with multilayered PCBs, and native optimisation of element/array geometries and beamforming coefficients. It is fully integrated into TICRA Tools, combining with CHAMP 3D for horn arrays, GRASP for array-fed reflectors, and ESTEAM for installed-performance analysis.
