I am trying to design an aperture coupled antenna in ADS but this version 2016.01 doesnot have any EMDS option which I can use to model the thickness, dimensions, loss tangent, dielectric constant for the layers!
Also when I am clicking EM and proceeding to "substrate" under EM I cannot get the design I would want to have i.e. a top patch(conductor) followed by dielectric then comes a ground plane with a slot followed by a dielectric again and at last the feed network.
Can anyone please suggest me how I can realise such a structure in ADS ?
I need to change the template i am using it was the Alumina 25um to two layer FR4.
But I am finding it hard to realize what I actually need to design in the layout window?
i.e I need to draw the patch and the slot and the feed line network and mark the ports accordingly?
For FEM Simulation do you draw ground layer and substrate too?
I was drawing just the slot and stacking one after the other. Is it necessary for me to draw the ground layer and then make the slot on it?
Can it be done instead of placing the "diel" as in the screenshot you provided me with (attached below)?

and modeling the ground layer as "slot layer" in substrate editor.
Hi, I ditched the idea of modelling just the slot instead of an entire metal strip with a slot in it. I am moving forward with the idea you recommended previously by designing a metal strip as my ground plane and making a slot in it.
I have drawn the dielectrics in my layout as well
Do I need to connect my ground plane to a port too? In the design screenshots I posted the "pc1" layer in my screenshot is the feedline and I am connecting it to a port. Do I need to connect my ground to a port as well?
And I am using a linux machine at my univ it doesnot allow me to run any projects after downloading due to security reasons. Can you please send me a few screenshots of the design you made?
any idea on the rate of error when I am using Momentum solver instead of EMPro or HFSS 3D Solver for antenna design? Will I see drastic changes in result when I use a 3D solver?
Suppose I want to design a reflector at the back of my antenna design so that the amount of back radiation is cancelled. In ADS how do I simulate it? using a cover plane in the substrate menu or do I have to draw a metal plate and mark it as strip plane in the substrate tab of ADS Layout?
