hi, thanks for your response. is it alrite if we discuss this thru email. i would appreciate that alot. my email address is s4058319@student.uq.edu.au

do let me know if you are not comfortable discussing it thru emails.
 

hello Alvin,

pls find in feko example folder a simple microstrip dipole antenna on a substrate. You should find it in Example 24: Planar dipole antenna on a substrate (using
triangles)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
