ANSim Antenna Simulation Software
What is ANSim
ANSim is an extremely efficient Moment Method antenna simulation and modeling program. It makes use of multiradius wires, segments up to 1/4 wavelength, 2D surface elements and dielectrics for high accuracy designs. It has been developed specifically to offer easy customization by the user, through the use of generic output file types. All plotting programs included are available for use with other programs at no cost.
A detailed description of all the capabilities can be found in the ANSim User Manual which is available in the products section, at no cost
Advantages of ANSim
Use of multi-radius wires
Double precision Accuracy
Segments up to 1/4 wave allow for fewer segments
Use of 2D surface patches
Modelling of dielectrics
Ability to use Symmetry (with strict rules)
ANSim Model of Parabolic Reflector
Due to the use of piece-wise sinusoidal basis functions used in the moment method formulation, segments can be up to ¼ wavelength which results in improved speed due to having fewer calculations
Sector Antenna Design
Antenna arrays can be designed by building a single element/reflector combination and copying it to add elements and increase the array size. Desired phase and amplitude for each element is then added to produce the pattern required
