Creating the Monopole and Ground Plane

Create a monopole antenna and infinite PEC ground plane.

  1. Define the following variables:
    • fmin = 1e6 (The minimum frequency.)
    • fmax = 35e6 (The maximum frequency.)
    • wireRadius = 1e-3 (The wire radius of the monopole.)
  2. Create the monopole.
    1. Create a line.
      • Start point: (0, 0, 0)
      • End point: (0, 0, 10)
  3. Add a wire port (segment) to the base of the line.
  4. Add a voltage source to the port. (1 V, 0°, 50 Ω).
  5. Set the total source power (no mismatch) to 10 W.
  6. Add an infinite PEC ground plane.
