Capitalize on EDA When Developing MIMO, Phased-Array Antenna Systems, Part 2

摘要

Part 1 of this two-part series discussed the development costs and complexity of new radar and communications systems utilizing phased-array antennas, and how these challenges are being addressed through new functionalities in electronic-design-automation (EDA) software. Part 2 delves into individual antenna-element development and its incorporation into an array simulation that accounts for mutual coupling between radiating elements, as well as positioning (edge, center, corner) within the array and impairments due to element failure.
