There are various open source tools and codes developed by our group, and can be accessed through our Group GitHub. Please feel free to view and utilize them for your applications.
HERAS is a tool developed in MATLAB for the analysis of reflector antennas using Physical Optics (PO) theory. Its source code is freely available for educational and research purposes. It comes from the necessity of a flexible tool to provide adaptability to system engineering requirements and can also be of interest to antenna engineers working on the design of reflector antennas.
