thanks

hi, thanks for your response. is it alrite if we discuss this thru email. i would appreciate that alot. my email address is s4058319@student.uq.edu.au

do let me know if you are not comfortable discussing it thru emails.

hello Alvin,

pls find in feko example folder a simple microstrip dipole antenna on a substrate. You should find it in Example 24: Planar dipole antenna on a substrate (using
triangles)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Element7k

hi,

i took a look at the examples but found no solution to my prob. the design of my antenna is abit different. would u like to take a look? you can contact me via my email addy stated above

Hi all, i also attach my project file to this reply. do take a look and let me know if you spot some other mistakes. i have not simulate it yet as i do not have the full version of feko. i got to go back to uni to do that. also in this reply is the correspondence between me and element7k who has been helping me. this reply is also for people who r facing the same problems as me
