Antenna Catalog

Antenna Toolbox™ provides libraries of different kinds of antennas. Use these antennas to create finite and infinite arrays. Improve the performance of your antenna with the help of backing structures such as reflectors or cavities. Use dielectrics in Antenna Toolbox to understand the effect of substrates as antenna materials.

Featured Examples

VHF/UHF Biconical Antenna for Testing Applications

Design and analyze a wire biconical antenna that can be used in various testing applications. Wire biconical antennas are used as a standard victim in any compliance test lab in a variety of testing applications such as immunity testing, emission testing, spectrum monitoring, and shielding effectiveness etc.

Ultrawideband (UWB) Planar Monopole Antennas

Design UWB planar monopole antennas. Planar monopole antennas are simple in geometry and provide an ultrawideband (UWB) operating bandwidth. To create a planar monopole, replace a conventional wire monopole with planar elements in a variety of shapes to increase the surface area of the monopole. To design a planar monopole antenna, mount a planar metal plate on the ground plane. The ground plane can also have various shapes.

Design and Analyze Curved Reflectors

Design and analyze the curved reflectors. Curved reflectors are an upgraded version of rectangular reflectors. The curved surface on these reflectors reflects and focuses waves, which provides a stronger signal. Some of the notable characteristics of the curved reflectors are high gain, low cross-polarization, and reasonable bandwidth.
