Modeling Using the Graphical User Interface<br />

MODEL NAVIGATOR<br />

1 In the Model Navigator, select 3D in the Space dimension list.<br />

2 In the <strong>RF</strong> Module folder, select Electromagnetic Waves>Harmonic propagation.<br />

3 Click OK.<br />

OPTIONS AND SETTINGS<br />

1 From the Options menu, choose Constants.<br />

2 In the Constants dialog box, define the following constants with names, expressions,<br />

and (optionally) descriptions; when done, click OK.<br />

NAME VALUE DESCRIPTION<br />

a_coax 0.5[mm] Radius for the inner conductor of the<br />

coaxial cable<br />

b_coax 2[mm] Inner radius for the outer conductor<br />

epsilonr_coax 2.07 Rel. permittivity of the insulator in the<br />

cable<br />

epsilonr_pcb 5.23 Rel. permittivity of the printed circuit<br />

board for the patch antenna<br />

Pport 16.636[mW] Input power for the ports<br />

freq 6.3[GHz] Default frequency<br />

GEOMETRY MODELING<br />

The geometry modeling of this model is rather extensive, so it is possible to import the<br />

patch antenna geometry from a binary file. Select the section that you prefer.<br />

Importing the Geometry from a Binary File<br />

1 From the File menu, select Import>CAD Data From File.<br />

2 In the Import CAD Data From File dialog box, make sure that the COMSOL Multiphysics<br />

file or All 3D CAD files is selected in the Files of type list.<br />
