    [FEKO problems]: How to assign a feed to a spring antenna?

    Re: [FEKO problem]How to assign feed to a spring antenna? Not sure what a spring antenna is. Please provide a reference or picture.

    mesh problem with FEKO Lite

    With FEKO Lite you're stuck with the 500 triangles. To do a reflector antenna you'll need the full version, or you can try GRASP. There's a student edition that's free. I personally haven't used it so I won't be able to be any help, but a colleague of mine speaks highly of the tool.

    basics of microstrip antenna

    Antennas by John Kraus is also an excellent book. He provides the theory on many types of antennas and has many practical design examples.

    Circuit simulator for linux

    graphical circuit simulator linux Check out http://qucs.sourceforge.net/ Looks like ADS. It's still in the early stages so don't expect too much.

    Grounding bridges for CPW in Designer.

    If I remember correctly, vias are permitted only between similar layer types, no mix & matching. You're wasting your time with one anyway. Ansoft Designer's planar EM tool (Ensemble) doesn't handle CPW very well. I tried to model a finite ground CPW but I couldn't assign the ports properly as...

    Dielectric material with er=20,337 in 5~6GHz

    Lanthanum Aluminate (LaAlO3) has Epsr = ~24 & tand = 1E-4. It's made by several vendors; google it and you'll find it. Good Luck!

    Are salaries in Silicon Valley declining?

    Re: US salaries declining? I disagree with this statement. At present electronics is ushering in new and better ways to communicate as evident by the advancements in wireless technology, e.g. cell phones, VoIP, wireless networking, GPS, etc. Look how far, and ubiquitous, these...

    ASK: Filter design in ADS

    ASK: Filter design in @DS yuezi, schematics (circuit simulator, e.g. Ansoft's Designer) are good for first pass design to get approximate dimensions. To physically implement and test your filter, the final dimensions should be taken from an optimized electromagnetic simulation. In your case...

    Propagating modes with HFSS

    I agree with loucy that HFSS is not the best tool for this task. You should try using a planar EM simulator for this, e.g. Sonnet, Momentum (Agilent), Empower (Eagleware), IE3D (Zeland), Ensemble (Ansoft), etc. Depending on how much detail you want for the mode information, Sonnet Lite may...

    Why cell phone chargers are so light ??

    Cell phone charger It's the same technology that makes your computer's power supply lighter and more efficient, or recharges the battery in your electric shaver: switching technology. Switching circuits do away with bulky transformers but have a high pitch (frequency) whine that's very...

    Significance of 220V Power Supply

    Power is power; It doesn't matter if it's 110V @1A or 220V @0.5A. Sounded to me like the original question was asked to determine which is better. So my answer is a rhetorical question: Which is better, foot/pound/Fahrenheit or meter/gram/Celsius? The answer to both questions is the same...
