Preparing a Ka-Band Horn Antenna for Simulation with Nullspace Prep

Learn how to prepare a Ka-Band Horn Antenna CAD file for simulation with Nullspace EM, using Nullspace Prep journal files. Journal files (or script files) are text-based files that contain a series of commands and instructions used to automate tasks in the Nullspace Prep software. They allow users to record and replay their actions, making it easier to reproduce complex simulations, perform parametric studies, and streamline their workflows.

In this video, we'll take you through the process of prepping a Ka-band horn for analysis in Nullspace EM. Ka-band standard gain horns are widely employed in defense and aerospace applications, including satellite communications, radar systems, electronic warfare, missile guidance, UAVs, and aerospace research and testing. Here's what you can expect to learn in this video:

  • Importing a STEP File: Understand how to import a STEP file into Nullspace Prep.

  • Defeaturing the Ka-band Horn: Follow along as we remove all features on the Ka-band horn that do not directly impact the overall simulation of the horn in Nullspace EM.

  • Creating a Launcher Geometry: Using commands within Nullspace Prep, construct the launcher feed and matching pin.

  • Assigning Materials: Learn how to assign materials to volumes and voltage sources to surfaces.

  • Meshing the Horn: Discover how to leverage Nullspace Prep in meshing surfaces with various restrictions.
