RECO Software

AEM Antennas is proud to introduce RECO, a new reflector configuration and horn simulation software suite.

It is built with engineers in mind to quickly develop new reflector configurations.

Horn simulation and configuration wizards are also integrated for multi-core horn optimization in seconds.

Some features include:

Develop optimal feed horns
Reflector Configuration Wizards
Full System Simulation and optimization
Standalone or Matlab integrated for quick prototyping

Kickoff your design with RECO’s reflector configuration wizard

RECO’s built-in reflector configuration wizard generates reference configurations of single and dual reflector systems. Users have the freedom to generate both symmetric and offset reflector designs which can be further optimized to meet design requirements.

Develop an optimal feed horn

RECO’s feed design tool uses efficient techniques for fast and accurate development of custom feed horns. It solves smooth wall, splined, and corrugated horn configurations in seconds!

Streamline your reflector design project

RECO is a user-friendly reflector antenna system design software developed with engineers in mind. RECO’s built-in design tools allow antenna engineers to seamlessly develop feed horns and reflector configurations in one easy-to-use platform.

Simulate your end-to-end reflector antenna system

RECO’s suite of built-in design tools provide the capability to easily simulate the full end-to-end reflector antenna system, all in one platform. This makes it easy to iteratively tune the feed and reflector to quickly converge on an optimal solution.

Designed for engineers in mind

RECO is designed by engineers, for engineers. RECO’s scriptable design tools and object-oriented paradigm give users the flexibility to easily modify their reflector designs. As a MATLAB integrated software, users can benefit from MATLAB’s built-in tools including their suite of optimizers to aid in design.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What type of hardware do you need to simulate antennas?

Simulation hardware ranges from a simple laptop to supercomputer depending on the problem size and algorithm used. Typically, the mesh size is dependent on the so-called electrical size of the problem. That is the physical size of the antenna in terms of wavelengths.
