Port Size/Type Port Size/Type Port Size/Type Port Size/Type
Since the port is external to the model we could use a Wave Port. The
size of the port is determined by the physical dimensions of the
waveguide. Because the waveguide is circular, we must Polarize the E-
Field for the port definition.
Free Space Free Space Free Space Free Space
Since we are evaluating a radiating structure, we need to create a free
space environment for the device to operate in. This can be achieved by
using the Radiation Boundary condition or a Perfectly Matched Layer
(PML). We will use a Radiation Boundary since the surface will be
cylindrical.
The Radiation Boundary needs to be placed at least /4 from radiating
devices. For our example we will assume that /4 (0.6in)
