Antenna Feeding
When using software such as cst or feko is it necessary to simulate how the antenna is "excited". For example if i know i will be using a balun to connect a dipole antenna to a coax line do i need to simulate the balun with the coax or can i just use a port to excite the antenna. I am trying to determine if it is at all necessary. Any specific reasons why it would or would not need to be done?
