  • Abstract
    In this paper we present an antenna RF system simulator and two application examples: a) a conformai electronically scanned multifunction antenna on-board a UAV for surveillance and reconnaissance in defense and security missions, and b) a phased array satellite communication car roof antenna. The simulator is a fairly generic tool that can be used to study different applications such as civilian or military radar and communication for example. The focus is to assess the effects that different hardware architecture and component properties will give at system level.
