Its length is set to half the free-space wavelength. All of these dimensions can be replaced by arbitrary numeric values. The horn aperture dimensions and its overall length are calculated based on the specified antenna gain. All of these dimensions can be changed, too.

FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a cross slot antenna in the project workspace
 
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In [[EM.Tempo]], the wizard creates a cross slot antenna on a dielectric substrate. In [[EM.Picasso]], the wizard creates a cross slot antenna on a slot trace. The total length of each slot is set equal to a half the effective wavelength, which can be changed. This wizard does not provide a default excitation source in either module.

MENU: '''Tools &rarr; Antenna Wizards &rarr; Horn Antenna'''
 
MODULE(S): [[EM.Tempo]]
 
FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a pyramidal horn antenna in the project workspace
 
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a pyramidal horn antenna fed by a rectangular waveguide with a TE10 modal excitation. The larger dimension of the feeding waveguide is set slightly larger than half its cutoff wavelength for the dominant TE10 mode. The aspect ratio of the waveguide's cross section is 2:1. Its length is set to half the free-space wavelength. All of these dimensions can be replaced by arbitrary numeric values. The horn aperture dimensions and its overall length are calculated based on the specified antenna gain. All of these dimensions can be changed, too.

MODULE(S): [[EM.Tempo]]
 
FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a pyramidal horn antenna array in the project workspace
 
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates an array of pyramidal horn antennas fed by rectangular waveguides with a TE10 modal excitation. The larger dimension of each feeding waveguide is set slightly larger than half its cutoff wavelength for the dominant TE10 mode. The aspect ratio of each waveguide's cross section is 2:1. Its length is set to half the free-space wavelength. All of these dimensions can be replaced by arbitrary numeric values. The horn aperture dimensions and its overall length are calculated based on the specified antenna gain. All of these dimensions can be changed, too.

FUNCTION: Creates a hilly terrain with a random rough surface in the project workspace
 
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a hilly terrain using a surface object generated with a Gaussian profile. The surface is then roughened based on the specified statistics.
