dielectric layer losses
This question goes to all EM wizards.
Lets say we want to simulate and find out what should be the transmission/reflection loss of one or multiple dielectric layers. Which EM simulator do you think will easily do the job and how would you set the following generic (with most simulators) conditions:
1. Boundary conditions should be set to periodic, open, or electric? We don't care about any "edge" effects of the material but only for the transmission-reflection characteristics of the layer (In a sense the material can be considered to be infinite).
2. Can we excite the layer and find the transmission-reflection losses through waveguide ports and a plane wave excitation? How can we investigate/find in both cases (if applicable) the following:
(a) S21, S11 parameters (or an equivalent way to predict the transmission-reflection losses)
(b) Introduce the effect of the polarisation state of the excitation (Is this possible only with a plane wave excitation?)
(c) Introduce the effect of the angle of incidence of the incident wave (Is this possible only with a plane wave excitation?)
Any input is welcomed on the easiest way to simulate the above, (simulator and simulation setup wise).
Many Thanks
