02 Jul 2009 19:11 patch antenna simulation example by ie3d

Hi all!
I'm new with simulation and antenna design. I'm triying to simulate a probe-fed rectangular patch antenna on a finite ground plane.
I designed this antenna by transmission line model using fiberglass as dielectric substrate with Er=4.4 and h=1.52mm.
The size of this patch is L=29.47mm and W=38.03mm. The size of the ground plane is Lg=38.59mm and Wg=47.15mm.
I tried to simulate this antenna, but i cannot get it to work... Please! If someone could give some feedback and help me I would be very grateful.
I added my .geo file and a description of all the steps i followed using IE3D.
Thanks a lot.
