Hi,
I am trying to simulate a printed Yagi
array (i.e., multiple Yagi antennas on a common
substrate) using HFSS v9.2. I want to study the
mutual coupling effects and the radiation pattern.
I am not sure I can use the array synthesis tool
because, in my structure, the Yagis are not oriented
in the same direction. I tried specifying 1 port
for each Yagi and thought of looking for the S21
parameter. But I get a value of -280dB, irrespective
of the spacing (even when 2 Yagis overlap!!). Also,
when I look at the radiation pattern, I get the
pattern of a single antenna only, even when there
are 2 Yagi's. The pattern that I obtain is that
of the antenna for which I defined Port 1. The pattern
of the other antenna (with port 2) doesnt seem to
be calculated!!
Can any one help me with
this??
