Hey,i m facing problem in getting the radiation pattern in HFSS 11,somebody please tell me about the options that i need to set in the traces window to get a new report of radiation pattern.i am getting the return loss plot.hope for an early response.*** bless u
 

i guess i found the solution myself.after analyzing,go to HFSS>RESULTS>FAR FIELD >RADIATION PATTERN.
 

Hi,
Can anybody help me.....pls answer the questions, I am new user of HFSS, using v10 !

1. What solution type I should select to simulate an microstrip antenna?
2. What values of theta and phi should I put in the radiation setup to get good results?
3. How to see the current distribution?

Thanks

Hello,
1. Use Driven Model with a waveguide port
2. I think the stanard values are ok
3. You can plot the J-field under the "Field Overlays"

hi.
1- for microstrip better using the lump port
2- for phi and theta the step of 5 is good
3-for current as flanello said

Why is using a lumped port better?
If you have a microstrip antenna with a microstrip feed line the waveguide port would be ideal?

The lumped port is good if you have a feed point in the patch, for example with a coaxial cable.

hi
no thats not write for patch antenna better u use wave port for coaxial

for more information use antenna design kit samples

Thanks for your response
As example given in the HFSS Handbook, they have used waveport for microstrip antennas with coaxial probe feed, I am also doing that!!

one more question...How I can see the E-plane and H-plane in HFSS?

waiting to hear from you...
 

hi
go result /far field /radiation pattern / gain/ gain phi and gain theta
 

Hi,
So how i can see the Gain in rectangular plot over a range of frequency, I want to see the peak gain...
Could anyone help me,pls...
Bless u
 

hi
at first you should define your antenna radiation direction and then u change the sweep to the frequency and define theta and phi the simulated your antenna
 

Create a rectangular plot with far fields.
For the sweep select all frequencies and one theta and phi angle. Which one doesn't matter since you want the peak gain.
In the y values select antenna parameters and then peak gain.
 
Hi,

I'm looking for two different plots for my rectangular patch antenna on HFSS.

1) E-plane
2) H-plane

I've been able to get results such as Gain, Directivity, S11, etc... but haven't been able to get the correct E&H radiation plots.

Thanks

Hey,

I followed your steps, do these look like good results? Appreciating your feedback.

Thanks
Khaled

 

The straight lines indicate that you have not enough points to draw a smother diagram. How many Theta points do you have?
Check the settings under Radiation->Infinte Sphere, perhaps you need to increase the number of points.
 
And check the step settings. I think 10 degrees is the standard value, but perhaps you need a higher step size.
