AntWave: Antenna & Microwave

AntWave is a professional mobile computing suite developed by a senior phased-array antenna engineer. It is specifically designed to provide convenient, in-depth, and high-efficiency analysis for antenna design/measurement, microwave system analysis, and RF engineering.

AntWave transforms complex electromagnetic theories into intuitive engineering results. All algorithms are based on International System of Units (SI) and high-precision physical constants to ensure results meet professional design standards. With 23 core modules, the app covers the entire workflow from fundamental physics to high-level system link analysis, including standard rectangular waveguide data and interactive charts for sky noise and atmospheric/rain attenuation. Complex link calculation results can be saved and shared as linear data tables or images.
