2 In the Subdomain Settings dialog box, select Specify material parameters in terms of<br />

refractive index in Subdomain 2. Then set the refractive index to 1.45.<br />

3 Click OK.<br />

MESH GENERATION<br />

Initialize a mesh and refine it twice using the Initialize Mesh and Refine Mesh buttons on<br />

the Main toolbar.<br />

COMPUTING THE SOLUTION<br />

Use the parametric solver to study the S-parameters as functions of the frequency.<br />

1 In the Solver Parameters dialog box select the Parametric solver.<br />

2 Enter fq1 as Parameter names, then click the Edit button for the Parameter values.<br />

3 In the Edit dialog box, set the First value to 4.31e9, the Last value to 6e9, and the<br />

Number of values to 50, and then finish by clicking Add. The solver will calculate the<br />

solution using 50 equidistant frequency values in the range 4.31 GHz to 6 GHz.<br />

The frequency 4.31 GHz is just above the cutoff frequency.<br />

4 Solve by clicking the Solve button.<br />

POSTPROCESSING AND VISUALIZATION<br />

You can plot the S-parameters using a domain plot.<br />
