abstract: "<p>This tool is about calculating the S parameters and Far Fields of a cascaded cylindrical waveguide structure or a conical waveguide of arbitrary cross-sections. It is based on the Mode Matching Technique. The tool also contains the optimization of arbitrarily profiled smooth conical horn antennas based on a desired reflection coefficient. The same code can be modified to add certain other optimization goals, such as, the cross polarization levels and antenna efficiencies.</p><p><br></p><p>Special features:</p><ol><li>It is faster than the conventional EM solvers because it is completely analytical.</li><li>Based on the input frequency range by the user, it does a smart selection of modes per waveguide to reduce computational complexity and to get more accurate results.</li></ol><p>More details can be found in the README.pdf file.</p>"
