A
s the AN-SOF Antenna
Simulator enables implicit
modeling of transmission
lines, this feature allows
users to define a
transmission line by specifying its
characteristic impedance, velocity
factor, length, connection ports, and
losses. One particularly valuable
application of this transmission line
modeling capability is in the design and
analysis of feeding systems for phased
arrays. A prime example of a versatile
phased array that leverages
transmission lines in its feeding system
is the four-square array. This
configuration consists of four vertical
elements, each measuring 1/4-
wavelength in height and arranged in a
square formation. It serves as an
excellent tool for both radio enthusiasts
and professionals seeking a
straightforward yet effective phased
array for controlling the main lobe
direction of the antenna’s radiation
pattern.
