What EM SW to simulate planar struct.s on ANISOTROPIC SUBS.?

[beetro78]

What Sw is more appropiate to simulate planar stucture printed on anisotropic substrates?

I tried DESIGNER...but it doesn't work with anisotropic materials...the same for SONNET Lite...

I tried HFSS but it is not so friendly and reliable concerning the excitation: I simulated a simple CPW with two wave port at the ends (following all the reccomandations of the HFSS port tutorial) and I get a strange results about scattering parameters.

I heard about ADS MOMENTUM..but I could not fins a trial version. O
Does anyone know if it is appropiate to my purpose? And also how can I get the software to try it?

Other SW to reccomand?

Thank u!

Just curious... what are the properties of your dielectric?

Lithium Niobate....

I heard that Sonnet has a beta test version of Sonnet Professional that can simulate anisotropy in the standard dielectric layers. You should contact Sonnet to ask about this.
