Abstract

In this work, a free accessible MATLAB interface is presented to analyze antenna-coupled Quasi-Optical (QO) systems in reception. This goal is achieved by using Fourier Optics (FO) and Geometrical Optics (GO) based methods. Specifically, the FO method represents the field focalized by a QO component on its focal plane as a plane wave spectrum when the component is illuminated by an incident field. This spectrum is related to the field scattered by the QO component which is calculated here using a GO method. By using this spectrum, the tool estimates the power received by an antenna placed at the focal plane of the QO component. Moreover, the performance in reception is evaluated.
