Choose a project template. Create your model. parameters + geometry + materials Define ports. Set the frequency range. Specify boundary and symmetry conditions. Define monitors. Check the mesh. Run the simulation.
Design example : Cylindrical Horn Antenna 8 12 GHz Objective : Design horn antenna with following dimension and parameter as shown in figure below
- aperture radius: 1.0 in, length: 0.25 in - shell thickness: 0.01 in (outside) - monitors: E-field, H-field & far field at 10 GHz
