    This document provides instructions for a practicum on modeling and simulating a dipole antenna array using CST Studio Suite. It describes how to model an array of 5 dipole antennas with varying distances and phase shifts between the elements. It also provides directions for passive and active antenna array simulations, including defining discrete ports on each antenna, applying excitation signals, and obtaining results like radiation patterns, S-parameters and current distributions. The goal is to explore how the antenna array factors and mutual coupling between elements are affected by the array geometry and excitation signals.
