Parabolic Dish antenna!
Show older comments
In order to attain a gain of 32dbi I need to a parabolic dish with feed horn. Is there any block in simulink which would be of aid? I tried phased arrays to attain 32dbi gain but it requires 900 plus elements and that is not my requirement.

Below code can be used to generate the structure. This solution is using full wave simulations.
r=reflectorParabolic('Radius',0.25,'FocalLength',0.9,'FeedOffset',[0 0 -0.01])
r.Exciter = design(horn,10e9)
r.Exciter.Tilt = 90
r.Exciter.TiltAxis='Y'
mesh(r,"MaxEdgeLength",0.006)
pattern(r,10e9)
Below approach can be used to get analytical solution for the setup.
ref=reflectorCalculator
ref.ClearanceHeight=0
ref.Diameter=0.5
solve(ref,10e9)
