Example of an Antenna Attached to a Plate
The example illustrates the synthesis method of the application macro. Optionally, the design method can be used to specify a custom weighting coefficient.
An example of the antenna and plate model is shown below. The antenna is excited at the
corner of the plate with a voltage source; for this example, the frequency range is 700
MHz to 960 MHz.
Tip: Find the examples in the <FEKO_SHARED_HOME>
directory:

The model is set up with a CMA configuration and the following requests:
- A CMA request with 20 modes and the Compute modal excitation coefficients check box is selected.
- A far field request with the default 3D pattern.
- A current request calculating all the currents on the structure.
Note: Use the CMA plotter application macro to plot CMA quantities and to determine the
dominant modes at the frequency of interest.
