Detailed Documentation

Design a rectangular grid planar phased array antenna and conduct 3D simulation of its radiation pattern function. During this simulation process, we can incorporate additional parameters such as frequency response, antenna element dimensions, and configuration arrangements. Through adjustment and optimization of these parameters using array factor calculations and element pattern multiplication, we can better understand the antenna's performance characteristics. Furthermore, we can explore the antenna's radiation patterns and beamforming capabilities, including how to achieve different radiation characteristics by modifying the antenna design through phase shifting and amplitude weighting techniques. These enhancements allow for more comprehensive research and evaluation of the rectangular grid planar phased array antenna's performance and potential applications in wireless communication systems.
