Abstract

This empirical research described in the paper aims to present applications of integrated technology solutions based on 3D modeling and simulation methods in satellite communications. The concept of the study is expressed in the proposed methodology related to conducting tests in several simulation environments in order to design functional prototypes. One of the main scientific and applied contributions of this methodology is considered to be the use of a 3D author’s model of a pyramidal horn antenna for satellite communication.

In satellite communications and microwave applications, pyramidal horn antennas are used because of their UHF and SHF operational frequency ranges between 300 MHz and 30 GHz. They can be used as irradiators in lenticular and mirror antennas as well as an active element in dish antennas because they represent radiating structures built as extensions of standard rectangular waveguides in order to improve their directivity. The main requirements for an optimal system are maximum directivity and a minimum width of the radiation pattern, which is a graphical representation by a 2D or 3D diagram of the distribution of radiated energy into space, which is functionally dependent on the direction.

The assessment and analysis of the obtained results show that the simulation data of the preliminary tests is correct, which means that the 3D object is modeled precisely, verified and validated according to all requirements in the selected simulation systems.
