1.1.7   Antenna Array

QW-Modeller Antenna Array tab is organised in sections, which allow defining patch antenna array structure, excitation, boundary conditions and beam steering parameters.

Project section

Project section contains the following commands:

 - creates new QW-Modeller project. See New Project chapter for more information.

 - saves QW-Modeller project with the current name (if the project has not been saved yet, the Save QW-Modeller Project dialogue will appear).

 - opens QW-Modeller (or other supported format) project.

 - opens Save QW-Modeller Project dialogue for introducing project file name.

 - constructs QuickWave components tree in the Tree View.

See Supported formats chapter for more information.

Edit section

Edit section contains the following commands:

 - undo operation

 - redo operation

 - copy selected object(s)

 - paste copied object(s)

 - duplicate selected object(s)

 - select all objects

 - box selection in the 3D view

Model section

Model section contains the following commands:

 - switches to Model tab of QW-Modeller Ribbon

 - opens Boundary Conditions dialogue with options for project boundaries configuration. See Borders chapter for more information.

 - opens Mesh Settings dialogue with options for FDTD mesh configuration. See Mesh Settings chapter for more information.

 - recalculates FDTD mesh.

 - opens Mesh Inspect dialogue with FDTD mesh information. See Mesh Inspect chapter for more information.

Patch Antenna Array section

 - opens Patch Antenna Array dialogue with options for defining patch antenna array structure. See Patch Antenna Array Structure chapter for more information.

 - opens Patch Antenna Array - NTF/ABC Settings dialogue with options for defining patch antenna array boundary conditions. See Patch Antenna Array Boundary Conditions chapter for more information.

 - opens Patch Antenna Array - Excitation dialogue with options for defining patch antenna array excitation parameters. See Patch Antenna Array Excitation chapter for more information.

 - opens Patch Antenna Array - Beam Steering dialogue with options for defining patch antenna array beam steering parameters. See Patch Antenna Array Beam Steering chapter for more information.
