HFSS15: Multiple Ports on the Same Face
录入:edatop.com 点击:
Visualize a port face on a microstrip that contains two conducting strips side by side as two separate ports. If the two ports are defined as being separate, the system simulates the case in which the two ports are connected to uncoupled transmission structures. It is as if a conductive wall separates the excitation waves. However, in actuality, there will be electromagnetic coupling between the two strips.
To model this coupling accurately, analyze the two ports as a single port with multiple modes. In general, if there are N disconnected conductors in the port cross-section, at least N - 1 modes are required for an accurate solution. For example, if the port consists of two adjacent microstrip lines surrounded by a conducting enclosure, N = 3; therefore at least two modes should be defined on the port. Assign an equal number of terminals as modes. Refer to Assigning Wave Ports for Terminal Solutions for more information.
If the multi-conductor port plane is near discontinuities within the 3D model, additional modes beyond N - 1 may be necessary. However, if you define terminals on a multi-conductor port, the presence of non-quasi transverse electromagnetic (TEM) modes will adversely affect the entries of any computed terminal matrices. Therefore, rather than increase the number of modes beyond the required N - 1, extend the port outward until any higher-order modes have sufficient attenuation to be omitted from consideration.
