Hi all,
i am new to HFSS software and i'm trying to simulate a ten port network. After i simulated it first time, i received all the s-parameters and i checked at fields->edit sources that only port 1 had excitation power amplitude of 1W and all the others had zero. From what i understood when i saw it, i thought that only port 1 should excite the structure and the other ports should act as matced loads during the entire simulation, but the simulation gave me all the s parameters, as all ports were excited. These power amplitudes are just scaling factors or they are the actual power that stimulates each port? Because it didn't make sense to me. Thank you
