IE3D Different versions
Hi All
Well first of all let me mention that I have simulated gap coupled microstrip antennas in which 11 patches were coupled to driven element. the simulation was done using IE3D v 9.21 and the first fabricated model itself matched the simulated results. But for other gap coupled configurations I found that different versions of IE3D gave different results. For eg. for gap coupled MSA consisting of 2 elements, v9.21 gives 68 MHz BW, while 10.33 gives 75 MHz and v 11.15 gives 88 MHz. Why there is so much disparity between different versions.
Sincerely
