Hi,
I'm using HFSS for a little while simulating antennas. Now for the first time I need to plot Radiation patterns on gain, directivity and so on.
I've seen that HFSS gives me a lot of possibilities:gain, directivity,radiated power,radiation efficiency.
For the gain for example:I've plot a radiation pattern of gain for a fixed theta and variable Phi. The problem is...how I've to read that result? How can I for example say if the gain of this antenna is better of that of a dipole?
In the end...I've a lot of variables but how can I give them the right meaning
Thanks in adv.
P.S. I usually enclose my antenna in a cube of correct dimensions relating to lambda and assign to it a radiation boundary for the far field calculation...Is this correct or could I expect inaccurate results?
