Microstrip Linear Array Simulator

This project provides an interactive simulator for microstrip linear antenna arrays, focusing on X-band frequencies. The simulator allows users to visualize and analyze the radiation pattern, side lobe levels (SLL), gain, bandwidth, and other key parameters of microstrip patch arrays.

Features

• Adjustable number of elements, phase per element, and window type (uniform, Dolph-Chebyshev, binomial, hamming)
• Realistic modeling of microstrip patch element patterns and input impedance
• Visualization of radiation pattern and amplitude distribution
• Calculation of array parameters including gain, SLL, HPBW, efficiency, input impedance, VSWR, return loss, and bandwidth

Usage

Run the simulator with:

python linear.py

An interactive window will appear, allowing you to adjust array parameters and observe their effects in real time.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• numpy
• scipy
• matplotlib

Install dependencies with:

pip install numpy scipy matplotlib
