PHASIM, a sophisticated phased array antenna software simulator implemented in MATLAB 5.2

A sophisticated phased array simulator software package for the design and analysis of planar phased array antennas is presented. This simulator is coded in MATLAB version 5.2. Using MATLAB, numerical engineering problems can be solved in a fraction of time of time required by programs coded in FORTRAN or C. This paper addresses an assessment of the program, discusses its use and advanced far-field analysis capabilities.
