Defining a Dielectric Medium
Define a lossy frequency-independent dielectric with a relative permittivity ( ) = 5.6 and a dielectric loss tangent ( ) = 0.0041 to be used as the patch substrate.
-
Open the Create Dielectric Medium dialog using one
of the following workflows:
- On the Construct tab, in the Define group, click the Media icon. From the drop-down list, click the Dielectric icon.
- On the model tree, a right-click context menu is available on Media. From the list, click Dielectric.
Two variables (ceramic_epsR and
ceramic_tanD) were added to the model to define the
dielectric.
- Set the Relative permittivity ( ) to ceramic_epsR.
-
Set the Dielectric loss tangent (
) to ceramic_tanD.
- Set the Label to Ceramic.
- Click Create to create the dielectric and to close the dialog.
Note: In the model tree, the defined dielectric is displayed under
Dielectric. CADFEKO assigns
a colour to each medium randomly but the colour may be changed by using the
Change Display Colour
right-click context menu option.
