Starting from the 70’s\, Voyager\, Galileo\, Cassini\, SR TM and more recently Aquarius\, SMAP\, SWOT\, NISAR and INCUS are just a f ew major flight projects that required the design and development of very complex antenna systems for telecom\, radar and radiometric applications. They were\, and in most cases still are\, the state of the art in antenna design for space applications. In the past we mostly relied on relatively simple RF models and formulations and did a considerable amount of prototy pe testing to validate antenna performance. In recent years RF modeling to ols like HFSSTM\, GRASPTM and a few more\, have reached capabilities that were unimaginable just a few years back. At the same time\, computer power and available memory have been increasing steadily. Thanks to this fertil e ground it’s now possible to run extremely complex RF simulations of ve ry large structures in a relatively short time with very good results. Thi s presentation will guide the audience through a few examples of flight pr ojects where very complex RF models have provided extremely accurate resul ts and allowed the development of very complex instruments\, some of which are still flying today.\n\nOrganizers:\n\nProf. Cristiano Tomassoni\n\nCh air\, IEEE Italy Section Joint Chapter AP03/MTT17 C&S\n\nUniv.
