feko vs mmana

wat kind of antenna?

NEC-wire antenna design & Mstrip - ustrip antenna can show radiation patterns.

Commerical - C/$/T uwave studio, 1E3D and FEK0, An$oft HF$$, Designer just to name a few can show radiation patterns.

There is an aexcellent freeware that might suite your need:

MMANA (MM Antenna Analyzer):

Re: antenna design software

My requirement is for microwave antenna design like parabolic, horn, helical etc

Re: antenna design software

Hi fahsa,

have a look at https://wipl-d.com.

I will use a MoM solver. - e.g. Feko. It is generally faster for your kind of problems.

Re: antenna design software

The free 4nec2 software available at the following site might be what you are looking for;
I believe it can also do the antennae types in which you are interested (look at the included examples in "patches" & "wlan" directories after install it).

The site https://www.cebik.com/ provides alot of info on using nec2 type progs but not on all the antennae types you want.

Re: antenna design software

I suggest 4NEC2... I use it and the results provided are very cloes to reality.

Also for some antennas for the 2.4 Gig band.

Try it, it's free.

antenna design software

I have been using FEKO for the past 3 years and it works for me. Ive done patches, horns, helices etc. The latest suite includes a nice GUI in which you can create your antenna model. Go visit www.feko.info and have a look under applications/antenna placement.

Cheers
Rob

Re: antenna design software

if you want run the antenna in high frequencies ,
the Ansoft HFSS is good for you.
It don't need to write codes , and easy to learn.

Re: antenna design software

I still recommend IE3d. You can get a free trial version from:

www.zeeland.com

Re: antenna design software

For 80% accuracy you can use PCAAD V5 (just 450$) if you need more accurate 3D design use CST (MWS)It more user friendly for 3D then Ansoft (HFSS)
For 2D printed antenna use ZELAND
