Create Edge Port on Finite Substrate Macro

The Create Edge Port application macro creates an edge port on a finite substrate.

This application macro uses three defined named points in the model to define where the edge port will be located. It removes a small cuboidal section1 and creates a PEC “bow-tie” structure. An edge port is then added to the “centre” edge of the “bow-tie” structure. The option is available to add a voltage source to the edge port.

1 A port cannot be placed on the boundary of a finite dielectric substrate when using the method of moments (MoM).
