HFSS15: Plotting Horizontal Cross-Sections of Far Fields

When plotting far fields, a horizontal cross-section results from holding theta fixed and sweeping phi through a range of values.

1. Click the ellipsis [...] button for the sweep variable corresponding to theta.

To the right, all of the possible values for the theta variable are listed. The values are the result of the range of theta you specified during the infinite sphere’s setup.

2. Select the fixed value that theta should take in the plot.

HFSS will display values for the horizontal cross-section at selected theta cuts of the problem region at a set of phi rotations.

The figure shown below demonstrates the orientation of the sphere on which the field is computed when q is the fixed variable:
