Abstract

A simulation platform for the analysis of the aperture radiation from a (dielectric-filled) rectangular waveguide is described. It consists of two computational engines and a user-friendly shell for controlling the configurational parameters and for selecting the postprocessing tasks. The platform is extremely suited for educational purposes.
