Antenna API

The Antenna API contains classes for all antenna types available in the toolkit:

• Bowtie
• Common
• Conical spiral
• Helix
• Horn
• Patch

You use the Antenna API at the model level from PyAEDT.

You can create one or more antennas. An antenna is object-oriented. You can synthesis an antenna without AEDT.

This code shows how to synthesis an antenna:

# Import backend
from ansys.aedt.toolkits.antenna.backend.models.horn import Conical

# Synthesize antenna
oantenna1 = Conical()
oantenna1.frequency = 12.0

This code shows how to synthesize and create a model of an antenna in HFSS:

# Import HFSS
from ansys.aedt.core import Hfss

# Import backend
from ansys.aedt.toolkits.antenna.backend.models.horn import Conical

# Synthesize antenna
aedtapp = Hfss()

# Create antenna
oantenna1 = Conical(app)
oantenna1.model_hfss()
oantenna1.setup_hfss()
...
aedtapp.release_desktop()
