 HFSS SOLUTION TYPES
-Used for most RF/Microwave
design
-calculates the modal-based S-
parameters. The S-matrix solutions
will be expressed in terms of the
incident and reflected powers of
waveguide modes i.e. Generalized
S-parameters
INNOVENT Proprietary
.-Used for Signal integrity
application where multiple Mainly used to model
excitations are defined at the port cavity and get eigen
frequencies and Q
-calculates the terminal-based S- factor.
parameters of multi-conductor
transmission line ports. The S-
matrix solutions will be expressed
in terms of terminal voltages and
currents
