1D Result View

The port signals in time for every waveguide port, discrete port or field source excitation.

The monitored time and frequency dependent fields for every probe signal (see also probes).

The time and frequency dependent voltage and current signals for a discrete port if monitored.

In case that broadband port modes are calculated (usage of broadband waveguide ports or full deembedding feature), the broadband info of the modes is listed in a special folder (see port info view or port mode view for more details).

If adaptive mesh refinement is activated in the solver parameter settings the corresponding results can be accessed from this entry, see Adaptive Meshing (Transient), Adaptive Meshing (Eigenmode), Adaptive Meshing (Frequency Domain).

The results of an evaluation of a field along a curve can be accessed from this entry.

Complex View

The magnitude of the S-parameters is plotted in a linear as well as in a logarithmic scale and also the phase is available.

The S-Parameters will be plotted in the view mode that is set in the plot toolbar:

By default, the dB-scaled magnitude of the S-Parameters is shown. Possible views that can be selected are the real part, the imaginary part, the magnitude, the dB-scaled magnitude, the phase and the polar coordinates of the S-parameter. If impedances are available, the S-Parameters can also be plotted in a Smith Chart.

The S-Parameters are plotted in polar coordinates.

The S-Parameters are plotted in a Smith Chart.

If some ports are stimulated simultaneously the magnitude and phase of the signal spectrum at the ports are given as F-Parameters. These values are normalized to the spectrum of the input reference signal.

Please note that F-Parameters also show the outgoing results at ports in case of plane wave excitation.

More information about F-Parameters and active S-Parameters in case of simultaneous excitation is given on the Reference Value and Normalizing page.

For a description of the F-Parameters, please refer to the classical view. In the complex view, F-Parameters can be visualized exactly like S-Parameters as described above.

All relevant signals concerning the S-Parameters calculated from the AR-Filter, assuming that it has been activated. To start the AR-Filter, choose Results AR-Filter....
