Description

In this presentation I will show how the embedded element patterns of the LOFAR Low-band antenna are modeled in Altair FEKO. I will also show how the embedded element patterns can be recalculated for another LNA-impedance without the need to redo the electromagnetic simulation. Furthermore, I will show how spherical wave expansion can be used to describe the embedded element patterns.
