Open-Ended Waveguide Probe Model

NSI has implemented an open-ended waveguide pattern calculator based on a NIST algorithm (Yaghjian-1983).

The model provides a far-field prediction of an open-ended waveguide probe with an accuracy of approximately 0.15 to 0.4 dB over +/- 60 degrees in Elevation and Azimuth.

The model is best suited for multi-frequency data and for R&D projects where far-field pattern files are not always available, or for cost sensitive applications.

A comparison of the NSI2000 OEWG model with measured probe data on an X-band probe measured at NIST is shown in the plot below.
