Assessment tools
With Optenni Lab’s innovative assessment tools your can explore the theoretical limits of the maximum performance of antenna systems.
Optenni Lab offers innovative tools for estimating the obtainable bandwidth, worst case isolation and total scan pattern of antenna and RF systems, giving a very quick initial assessment of the system at hand. These tools can uncover fundamental hidden problems of the design right in the beginning, before investing lots of time and effort in more detailed analysis.
ESTIMATION OF OBTAINABLE BANDWIDTH
Optenni Lab offers tools for estimating the obtainable bandwidth from antenna impedance curves using the bandwidth potential and Q factor approaches.
ELECTROMAGNETIC ISOLATION TOOL
Optenni Lab’s electromagnetic isolation tool calculates the worst-case isolation between two antennas, where the effects of impedance mismatch have been factored out.
TOTAL SCAN PATTERN
When working with antenna arrays and beam steering, the beam can only be steered to a certain amount away from the broadside direction before the gain begins to drop and grating lobes start to appear. Optenni Lab implements the total scan pattern calculation, which reveals the maximum gain of the antenna array to any direction, under certain assumptions about the beamforming algorithm.
