I have simulated a microstrip patch antenna using IE3D software to find the radiation pattern and current distribution pattern.
I have a file named ant.cur in my folder. I opened that file using IE3D. Now can someone tell me how to find the direction of the current distribution for this antenna. What is the procedure i shud use?
This is what i did:
From the Process Heading of Cur View 9.0.. after selecting the file name "ant.cur" ... i selected "2D Vector Current Density". And then for the port selection, i selected the 1 port i have in the design.
Is this the correct way ?
Actually.. when i had 1st simulated my antenna.. i got some currect distribution (together with all other results) which i think is different from what i am getting now.. can someone tell me what i am doing wrong ?
Thanks.
Added after 29 minutes:
In the curView 9.0
After I have opened the file ant.cur
In the heading - Current Display.. there is an option for
"Change Phase"
Range of values = 0 to 1. And default is 0.25.
What is this Change Phase used for ?
Which phase shud one be using to understand the current distribution ? As when i change the phase.. the vector directions change accordingly.. So what does it mean ? I'm totally confused with this.
Thanks.
