Abstract:

Modern air vehicle platforms have a wide and increasing variety of avionics systems that require one or more dedicated antennae and/or sensors to be installed. In order to evaluate possible pattern degradation and the possible presence of interference between multiple systems, some numerical simulations must be carried out. This presentation shows the results of several simulations carried out with the aim of comparing some of the approach methodologies available in CST to the Antenna-siting discipline. In particular, the coverage and antenna-to-antenna coupling simulations were carried out by solving both with a full 3D approach and a hybrid methodology. For the last one, multiple solvers were used for the individual antenna project. At the end, an example of a possible interference task was implemented using the simulated coupling data in the entire analysis band, to carry out complete RF interoperability.

About the Speaker:

Francesco Marano received his M.Sc. degree in electronic engineering from the University Federico II of Naples. From May to December 2017, he collaborated with IDS (Ingegneria dei Sistemi) toward his master’s thesis about antenna aperture with only phase control. 
From January to May 2018, Francesco worked on antenna design topics as a Post Graduate Researcher at the University Federico II. In 2018, he joined the Leonardo Aircraft division at the Turin site. Currently, Francesco's main work interests include antenna siting for proper products.
