Adding attenuation effect on signal in CST

[kokolovehuh]

Hi all,

I just started using CST and have some silly questions...

As title suggests, I am trying to apply an attenuation on an incoming signal from a port. Instead of drawing a 100m long coaxial cable I was wondering if there is an attenuator of some kind that does the same trick to attenuate the signal. Any thoughts?


Thanks alot!

You can add a shorter transmission line with higher losses by using a custom material with higher dielectric constant.

Use schematic symbols (in schematic view not 3d view) like resistors and model your attenuator and after this run em-simulation.

Why?

I mean ... why do you want to include this in the EM simulation?
