Code for project entitled "study on conformal antennas, proof of concept prototype for a UAV"

This code is used for developing the project entitled “Study on conformal antennas, proof of concept prototype for a UAV”, from the aspects of theory, design, and implementation. This code aims to speed up the investigation of an arbitrary phased array antenna and the integrated system by calculating the farfield radiation pattern of one scanning angle in very few seconds, considering the polarized elements, and parametrically defining an array topology. It is particularly suitable to analyze complicated concave and convex surfaces for real applications, as well as large-scale arrays. It can be also easily integrated with other analysis/synthesis methods such as “element switching method”, “amplitude tapering method”, and convex optimization algorithm. Detailed examples are provided in this code for demonstration.本代码用于从理论、设计与实现三个维度，开发题为《共形天线（conformal antennas）研究：无人机（Unmanned Aerial Vehicle，UAV）概念验证原型》的科研项目。本代码旨在通过以下方式加速任意相控阵天线（phased array antenna）与集成系统的研究：可在数秒内完成单个扫描角度的远场辐射方向图（farfield radiation pattern）计算，同时兼顾极化辐射单元（polarized elements）的影响，并支持参数化定义阵列拓扑结构（array topology）。该代码尤其适用于实际应用中复杂凹凸曲面的分析，以及大规模阵列的研究。此外，本代码可轻松与其他分析/综合方法集成，例如「单元切换法（element switching method）」、「幅度加权法（amplitude tapering method）」以及凸优化算法（convex optimization algorithm）。本代码中附带详细示例用于演示。
