CST2013: 1D / Farfield (broadband)

Post Processing: Result TemplatesTemplate Based Post Processing

This template allows the broadband storage of one user chosen farfield Result Value as function of frequency. For a detailed explanation of the settings please refer to the Farfield Overview.

The template requires the definition of multiple farfield monitors, which can be done in a comfortable way by using the macro Farfield / Broadband Farfield Monitors. Please remember: in RCS simulations, the structure is simulated with plane wave, and Excitation String has to be changed to [pw].

There are 3 different possibilities to access farfield data through the templates: the quickest one (e.g. to define a simple farfield goal) is the 0D / Farfield  0D / Farfield, where you can easily define one real number from a farfield result such as e.g. max gain 3d or 3dB-angle for a certain cut plane. The 1D template  allow you to obtain data versus frequency (broadband) 1D / Farfield (broadband), if a sufficient number of farfield frequencies has been monitored. Starting with 1D templates, you can also switch at any time to 0D level using the general template 0D Value from 1D Result and then be able to define a goal based on 1D farfields.

Please note: all farfield templates have a separate entry for Excitation String which has to be changed and entered manually, if different from port 1. For RCS simulations, the excitation string has to be changed to [pw] (plane wave), for excitation at port 4 please fill in [4].

OK

This button completes the setup of the template. The new entry will be added to the list of templates which are executed automatically after each run. The default name of the template is set according to the settings, as long the name has not been changed manually.

Cancel

Aborts the setup of the template and closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
