microstrip antenna result analysis in HFSS
m wrking on micromachined microstrip patch antenna array in HFSS. i want to know how to get gain curves E-Plots and H-plots after simulation.
Do you want plots of the radiation pattern ?
use HFSS ver 11
yes i want plots of radiation patterns.....how to set values of theta and phi?

Basic understanding of E-plane and H-plane radiation pattern. (There's no such as thing as E-plot and H-plot).
Simply E-plane and H-plane are always perpendicular to each other. 90 degrees onto each other.
Thus, to draw E-plane and H-plane.
Set one theta=0, and phi=all angles
or
Set one phi=0, theta = all angles.
You will see your H-plane will have circular and omnidirection patterns. Meaning it's perfect circles.
But E-plane is not uniform.
Remember, this radiation patterns are based on single frequency...so whatever your solution frequency is, that's the radiation pattern for the specific frequency.
see a video on you tube its good
This depends on the orientation of the antenna, so that's not a general result which will work in every case. Theta and phi have fixed references to the x, y and z axes. But depening on how you place the antenna, the E and H planes can be anywhere.
