European Antenna Modelling Component Library - Telecommunications<br />

The library shall be based on existing tools, while being able to easily incorporate the implementation of any new algorithms<br />

developed to satisfy emerging antenna engineering needs. The present activity will focus on the development of components<br />

specific to Telecommunication missions. In particular it will be articulated in two components: a structural component to<br />

ensure the background activity to pursuit the common objective of bringing forward antenna modelling technology and tools<br />

and a thematic component, dedicated to specific needs.-The structural component will focus on: the Earth<br />

Observation-specific aspects,electromagnetic modelling data domain standardisation, geometrical CAD tuned to<br />

electromagnetic modelling needs for telecommunication specific antenna configurations.-The thematic components will focus<br />

on: refinement of reflector antenna analysis tools , multi-frequency multi-coverage synthesis, improvement of antenna<br />

interaction models.The present activity will be carried out as part of the global development of the "European Antenna<br />

Modelling Component Library" foreseen by the above Dossier.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Software component library with relevant <strong>document</strong>ation. Validation hardware (satellite and antenna mock-ups)<br />

Title:<br />

Modelling of Porous Shells<br />

Porous materials, such as triaxial woven fabrics, are being employed in antenna technology <strong>du</strong>e to the significant mass<br />

re<strong>du</strong>ction and acoustic load relaxation. The drawback being the RF transparency, limiting the application of current ultralight<br />

technologies to the Ku frequency band. Therefore, a re<strong>du</strong>ction of hole size is needed and consequently the acoustic load case<br />

comes back to the scene. The objectives of this activity are:1.Vibroacoustic modelling of porous materials and triaxial fabrics,<br />

comprising material characterisation and a proce<strong>du</strong>re for implementation into Finite/Boundary-Element vibroacoustic<br />

simulation.2.Thermo-elastic modelling of porous/triaxial shell. Material characterisation and implementation into Finite Element<br />

simulation.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Identification of relevant parameters (analysis + existing data). Thermo-elastic/acoustic/RF characterisation (coupons +<br />

samples). Finite Element and Boundary Element modelling proce<strong>du</strong>re. Correlation with sample tests.<br />
