QUPES by TICRA

Analysis and Design of Quasi-Periodic Surfaces

QUPES is a dedicated software tool for the analysis and design of quasi-periodic surfaces such as reflectarrays, frequency-selective surfaces (FSS), transmitarrays, and more. Starting from the definition and design of the unit-cell geometry to the optimization of the entire finite-sized structures, QUPES provides the capabilities to design a periodic/quasi-periodic surface in a single tool, thus avoiding the need of using multiple software packages.

A built-in library of commonly-used periodic unit-cell geometries is included in QUPES, making it easy for users to define periodic unit cells. Using the optimization capabilities included in TICRA Tools, the user can optimize the periodic unit-cell geometries to fulfill certain reflection/transmission properties.
