HFSS15: Assigning Excitations
Assigning Excitations
Excitations in HFSS, HFSS Transient, and HFSS-IE are used to specify the sources of electromagnetic fields and charges, currents, or voltages on objects or surfaces in the design. Available excitations differ for each.
HFSS Excitations
HFSS-IE Excitations
HFSS Transient Excitations
After assigning an excitation, you can modify it in some of the following ways, if applicable to the excitation type:
Change its properties.
Delete it.
Reassign it to another surface.
Reprioritize it.
Hide it from view
Show Nets for DC Continuity for 3D Conductors.
Modify the impedance multiplier.
Deembed the port.
Set up Differential Pairs
For HFSS Transient solutions, render it Active or Passive.
You may assign the following types of excitations to a Driven solution-type HFSS design:
Wave Port | Represents the surface through which a signal enters or exits the geometry, effectively a semi-infinite waveguide attached to the model. |
Lumped Port | Represents an internal surface through which a signal enters or exits the geometry, effectively, a small impedance pole for exiting the structure. |
Terminal... | Represents a terminal. You can assign terminals manually or automatically. |
Floquet Port | Used exclusively with planar-periodic structures. Chief examples are planar phased arrays and frequency selective surfaces when these may be idealized as infinitely large. |
Incident Wave | Represents a propagating wave impacting the geometry. |
Voltage Source | Represents a constant electric field across feed points. |
Current Source | Represents a constant electric current across feed points. |
Magnetic Bias | Used to define the net internal field that biases a saturated ferrite object. |
You can assign the following types of excitation in an HFSS-IE design:
Lumped Port | Represents an internal surface through which a signal enters or exits the geometry. |
Terminal... | Represents a terminal. You can assign terminals manually or automatically. |
Plane Incident Wave | Represents a wave that propagates in one direction and is uniform in the directions perpendicular to its direction of propagation. |
Far Field Wave | A Far field wave is sufficiently far (that is, usually more than a wave length distance) from an antenna to approximate as a plane wave. |
Near Field Wave | A Near Field wave is close enough to the antenna source for near field effects to occur, typically within a wave length. Near field waves include evanescent field behavior. |
You can assign the following types of excitation in an HFSS Transient design. For HFSS Transient designs, the Properties for each excitation includes a Transient tab, enabling you to designate each excitation as Active or Passive.
