am loopstick antenna+hfss simulation
I have seen a number of discussions on simulating and designing various spiral antennas and added comments to several threads. I will be brief here.
Corzine and Mosko have a useful book on the basis for a wide range of spirals.
In simulations I would incorporate both the antenna and feed/balun into a HFSS simulation. The potential problem is that the problem size can grow quickly and stress the computer capacity. One way to ease the problem is to only work on a portion of the frequency band at a time. I prefer to use wave ports in my simulations when I can.
