S-Matrix Calculation

S-Matrix Calculation


Case :  two monopoles on a metallic box


First create the box :


The extrude utility function of GiD can be used


To create a plate :


First corner coordinates : (0, 0, 0)

Second corner : (0.196, 0.098, 0)



Choose 'copy' in the 'utilities' menu


Select :


then select the plate and 'finish'


Geometry obtained


Now create the two monopoles :

First monopole (a line) : (0.06, 0.049, 0.02) => (0.06, 0.049, 0.0365)

Second monopole (a line) : (0.136, 0.049, 0.02) => (0.136, 0.049, 0.0365)






We can delete the bottom surface of the box with and select

or with  Geometry => Delete => Surface :



Check the normals of the box's surfaces and of the wires




The geometry is complete.


Next assign the electrical properties.


Assign an interface properties on the 5 surfaces of the box


Assign an antenna property to the wires (Radius 0.0005 m)


Assign a voltage source on the two points in contact with the box (with two different names)


Assign a short-circuit condition at these points



Set the frequency to 3000 MHz, a step of 100 MHz and 21 steps


Open options window and select the S-Matrix option :



Save


Generate the Mesh


Run


The results are stored in the S_matrix.txt file. This file is displayed with a third party software :
