i'm fresh in designing monopole antenna for my project. however, I've heard that HFSS allows me to simulate the antenna radiation and conditions. Can anyone briefly provide me with any tips or steps?
No need for simulation. Just take a piece of copper clad PCB, drill a hole for an SMA, and solder the flange to the ground plane. Then solder wire to center conductor and trim until return loss is good. You can also use wire as a counterpoise instead of PCB.
Monopole is typically 1/4 wavelength. Bending the groundplane down into a cone (I think 30 degress) will increase bandwidth and yield a close 50 ohm match. A graduate level EM textbook (ex Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics by Balanis) should derive the solution for a monople over infinite ground plane.
Hi
There is a program called supernec.
I used it 4 years ago when I was doing the same job
It is very good.
I have it but I don't know how I can post it to u because of the size issues.
