Array synthesis
Design from requirements
Define the performance you need. ApertureLab proposes aperture size, spacing and element count, then optionally refines the recommendation with EM simulation data.
Step 1
Design requirements
Step 2 · Optional
EM-informed refinement
Start analytically, then import simulated data for a candidate unit cell or finite array. The imported data is used to estimate active mismatch and scan limitations; it is not required to create a design.
