Zeland FIDELITY Question
Hi everyone. I have been using IE3D for my microstrip antenna design and simulation. But due to the fact that the version(Mgrid 9.2) of the IE3D I'm using permits only infinite substrate modeling, and as a result, the radiation pattern and the gain of the antenna are not quite good. Hence, I had exported the IE3D geometry into a FIDELITY geometry. However, the above conversion had left out the port previously defined in IE3D and I need to add in a coaxial port into my microstrip antenna structure in FIDELITY.
So the question is this: How do I actually insert a coaxial port in this case? I couldn't figure out what to key in for the X,Y,Z values for the center location of the coaxial port. Also, it seems that there is always error no matter what values I tried to input into the X,Y,Z fields.
Any kind souls here would like to provide some advice? All help will be greatly appreciated!
