You can exploit this feature to make a object defined coordinate systemIn that case whenever
your object movesthings defined with reference to that object will also move. That is rest of
your things are tied to that object!
5. Select desired object..goto Modeler>coordinate system>create>object CS>offset
6. Point and click on the desired point on that object
7. New coordinate system is createdany object defined through that coordinate system will
automatically move when that object moves

Wave Port
Port solver assumes that Wave port you define is connected to semi infinite waveguide
that has the same cross section area and material properties as the port
Wave ports calculates Generalized S-parameters
Normally wave port solver solves for perfect matched conditionsthat means
whatever impedance you are getting at a port, it excites that port with matched
impedanceputting in other words it calculates generalized S-parameters
Generally, wave port should be Renormalized to 50ohms in order to calculate Sparam or so because in laboratory you are always measuring with fixed reference
impedance (50ohms) which may be in mismatch with your port impedance

Generalized S-Parameters
Some time your N-port network may have different
impedances of transmission lines at different ports, in
that case even if you terminate each port with
respective impedance and there is no reflected wave,
still your definition of s-parameters is flawed
S21 is simply not equal to wave coming out of port 2
divided by wave going into port 1rather you need to
take impedances into account as well
So you define generalized S-param which give correct
answer in any case
Generalized S-param are defined in terms of a n and bn
that is you divide the wave with impedance of port from
where it is coming
Note that S-param gets equal to generalized S-param
when we have same impedance TR lines at each port
On the side note, we didnt need to go through this
hasslewe could have defined S-param as ratio of only
voltages without including impedances, afterall it is
upto us how do we interpret thingsbut we had to
include impedances because mathematics says that
sum of all the magnitude of S-param of a port for a
lossless device should be equal to 1which only
happens if s-param are generalized(this is called
being unitary)
