Hello guys,
I'd like to ask about modelling a LPDA.The one I'm interested in has all its elements on the same plane.
Now,what is the right way to feed all the elements with one discrete port?
I place a port at the first one,and then I use the "Bond Wire" method to connect the 2nd element with it (criss-crossed) ,then I do the same for the 3nd and 2nd etc.
-Let's start from the basics:is this the right way?
-since the elements are co-planar,the BondWires will intersect (since they are criss-crossed).Is there anything I can do to avoid this except by giving curvature to the wires (i.e. not making them straight lines)?
-If I want to check whether the elements "see" the correct excitation,do I have to define a straight line along the gap end then => Calculate Voltage along curve ?
Thank you
