Hi,
Yes it is a lab project and it is just started. About requirement, I want to first simulate a Corner and then a parabolic reflector a basic one. About which one, I can say let's take any example from JD Kraus or Balanis book. I am really trying to get the hold of it first.
Regarding the practical aspects,I am also looking into it but really speaking for me choseing a right software to simulate a Prime focused Parabolic reflector or Square Corner Reflector is first thing I wanted to do but struggling a bit here also.
Yes,I want to build one at the end and about h/w and s/w requirement I need to chose a good EM simulator first to start of really.
Please let me know.
