Set up the model to write the transmission / reflection coefficients
.tr file to be used for the characterised surface.
-
Use the model created in Periodic Boundary Conditions for FSS Characterisation and rename the file.
-
Specify the symmetry about the X=0 and Y=0 planes as Geometric
symmetry.
-
Set the frequency to 10 GHz.
-
Modify the plane wave source settings:
- Click Loop over multiple directions.
- Set the θ range from 0 to 180°.
- Set the ϕ range from 0 to 360°.
- Increment the incident angle, θ, in 6° steps.
- Increment the incident angle, ϕ, in 6° steps.
- Select the Calculate orthogonal polarisations
check box.
Tip: Use a single theta cut for elements with small / no variation
in ϕ.
Tip: For many θ and ϕ
samples use the provided .tr file to save time.
