what is rf gamma value
If I add a port to a microstip line and run a simulation, the value of Gamma returned is always:
Re(Gamma) = 0
im(Gamma) = 1
I'm assuming this Gamma is the standard,
Gamma = Alpha + j Beta
where Alpha is the attenuation and Beta the propagation constant. I can calculate the Beta from the slope of the S11 angle plot (and it agrees well with theory) and I can see that the attenuation Alpha is not exactly zero from the S11 mag plot.
Do I need to renormalize or maybe set some switch to have the Gamma value displayed properly or am I completely misinterpreting something here?
Thank you,
JimR
