IE3D - microstrip feed radiation modelling

Hi all,
I am modelling an inset fed microstrip p@tch antenna in IE3D.I want to estimate the amount of radiation from the microstrip feed itself.How do I do it . Any suggestions ?

-Thanks

Hello, Arun!

In postprocessing you can select desired current cells to calculate radiation properties only from them.
Comparing the radiation properties with whole structure you'll get the result..

I did this long time ago with Curview (accessible from zeland manager)
Process --> Select cells

Hi all,

sorry to deviate from the topic but I was wondering is this procedure possible in uwave Studio?

No.. because the far field pattern is calculated from source fields in the whole calculation box..

On the IE3D 10.x, the current display mode is in a selection mode. You can window the cells on the top view to select them. Then, when you select RADIATION PATTERN CALCULATION, it will calcualte the radiation from the selected cells only. It is simple.
