TICRA (name derived from the last syllable of the first word and first syllable of the second word in Electromagneticradiation) is a company in Copenhagen, Denmark specializing in antenna analysis and synthesis software as well as related consultancy services. Their signature software is TICRA Tools, which has 6 individual software packages that can be used to perform detailed analysis of various components of modern antenna systems. The packages are :
- GRASP (General Reflector Antenna Software Package), which can be used to simulate reflector antenna systems, including struts. GRASP uses Physical Optics (PO), augmented by Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) to account for diffraction effects, as well as Body-of-Revolution Method of Moments (BoR-MoM).
- POS (Physical Optics-based Shaped reflector), which analyses and optimizes shaped reflectors using PO and PTD. POS can also optimize arrays, either directly radiating arrays or in the case of Array-fed Reflectors.
- CHAMP 3D(Corrugated Horn Analysis by Modal Processing), which despite its name can analyse and optimize not just corrugated horns but also smooth horns, as well as filters, diplexers, OMTs and other waveguide components.
- ESTEAM, which is used for general scattering analysis of electrically large structures using a Higher-Order Method of Moments implementation, augmented by the Multi-Level Fast Multipole Method.
- QUPES, which can analyze and optimize quasi-periodic surfaces such as reflect arrays and transmit arrays.
- UQ, which (when combined with one of the other packages) can perform uncertainty quantification, computing the effects of manufacturing imprecisions on the final performance of the antenna systems.
Their software is regarded as the de facto industry standard. [1]
