Hi!
I'm new and I have a little experience with HFSS.
I would like to simulate an array antenna (maybe using patch antennas or open ended waveguides) and to evaluate the near field across a plane in front of the array (about 10 waveleghts far from it).
I have understood i need to solve only one element and then i have to set up the array definition. However i believe i can only evaluate the array far field pattern, while i cannot evaluate the near field one. In other words the near field pattern i can evaluate (tha can be obtained only across lines) is referred to the single element.
Can someone confirm this?Is there any other way to evaluate the array near field without solving the whole array structure?
Thank you!
