Benchmark MEE 1997
The dual mode filter was developed, measured, and simulated by ESA (European Space Agency). It shows a narrow transmission band around 11 GHz. The reflection in this band is below 20 db. CST was the only company who was able to predict the correct behaviour. Below 20 db an agreement is nearly impossible as the structure is highly sensitive to smallest changes (see measurement and simulation by ESA itself). FE-codes were not able to predict any realistic result.

This article demonstrates the application of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (CST MWS) to the analysis of large reflector feed arrays. An array consisting of 19 elements was simulated but a larger array of more than 100 elements may also be simulated since the memory scaling with mesh cells in CST MWS is almost linear. The simultaneous excitation feature in CST MWS was applied to obtain farfield patterns in just a single simulation. A parameter sweep was also carried out to obtain the S-Parameters as a funtion of element feeding postion.

The aim of this article is to emphasize the application of a statistical approach to the analysis of the shielding properties of a real enclosure for radio communication equipment. A model of the enclosure was simulated with the CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (CST MWS) Transient solver. Excellent agreement between simulation and measured was obtained.

This application note describes the use of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® in optimising the geometry of a free standing nested annular slot type Frequency Selective Surface (FSS). An isolation of better than 20 dB between the 316.5-325.5 GHz and 349.5-358.5 frequency bands was achieved in both the TE and TM planes for a 45 degree incident plane wave, while the insertion loss was below 1 dB.
