Related Media

Hughes Network Systems (HNS), a wholly owned subsidiary of The DIRECTV Group Inc., is the world's leading provider of broadband satellite network solutions for businesses, governments, and consumers, with more than 750,000 systems ordered or shipped to customers in 85 countries. HNS pioneered the development of high-speed satellite Internet access services, which it markets globally under the DIRECWAY® brand.

THE NEED
To efficiently design and optimize a Ku-band antenna feed system for low-cost, high-performance DIRECWAY products

THE SOLUTION
HFSS™

Guo Jun Chen, of Hughes Network Systems, used HFSS to design and optimize every component and then integration of an ISIS Transmit/Receiver Isolation Assembly (TRIA) for low-cost, high-performance DIRECWAY products.

"Without HFSS, we could not have designed and delivered this product in such a short time," said Chen. "The measurement results of a prototype and then a production unit match the HFSS simulation results well. The power of HFSS covers draft-angles design for low-cost manufacturing purposes and tolerance analysis for yield estimation for ISIS TRIA. ISIS TRIA is a typical successful product that has been deployed in more than 350,000 DIRECWAY units so far."
