Computing Radiation From Multiple-Circular-Aperture Antennas

Abstract

Mutual Coupling Program for Circular Waveguide-fed Aperture Array (CWG) computer program developed to calculate electromagnetic interactions among elements of antenna arrays with circular apertures with specified distributions of electromagnetic fields in apertures. Distributions assumed superpositions of electromagnetic modes existing in circular waveguide. Various external media included to provide flexibility of use; for example, flexibility to determine effects of dielectric covers upon impedances of aperture-type antennas. Written in VAX FORTRAN for DEC VAX-series computers running VMS (LAR-15236) and IBM PC-series and compatible computers running MS-DOS (LAR-15226).
