Join Ansys, part of Synopsys, for an in-depth tutorial showcasing the latest simulation techniques and design workflows for phased array antenna systems in HFSS. As phased arrays become increasingly complex, engineers need faster, more efficient methods to evaluate performance across a wide range of operating scenarios. This session will demonstrate practical approaches for reducing simulation time while maintaining accuracy, enabling more rapid design exploration and optimization.

Attendees will learn how to leverage advanced technologies such as the Component Array Domain Decomposition Method (CADDM) for efficient finite array analysis, significantly reducing computational requirements by exploiting array periodicity. The tutorial will also cover workflows for multiband and interleaved antenna arrays as well as installed antenna performance evaluation using strategies that combine multiple electromagnetic solvers to efficiently address structures with varying electrical scales.

In addition, the session will highlight emerging AI-driven design methodologies through the automated development of pixelated patch antennas, along with techniques for modeling radomes and frequency selective surfaces (FSS). Through real-world examples and demonstrations, participants will gain practical insights that can be immediately applied to accelerate phased array development and improve simulation productivity.
