6.1.2    Poynting vector

QuickWave delivers time domain displays of the absolute value of the Poynting vector in the circuit. This information is enabled in a form of:

• The 2D distribution of the time-dependent Poynting vector available for every FDTD layer along each of three axes. The 2D Poynting vector distribution is available in the 2D/3D Field Distribution window, which enables monitoring and displaying of the amplitude (instantaneous, time-maximum, time-average) of total Poynting vector S as well as its directional components (Sx, Sy, Sz). The unit for Poynting vector is [W/mm²].

• The 3D display of the time-dependent Poynting vector (S, Sx, Sy, Sz) distribution. This feature is enabled in 2D/3D Field Distribution window and allows for time domain monitoring of instantaneous, time-maximum, and time-average values of the Poynting vector.

• The time-dependent 3D vector display of the instantaneous values of total Poynting vector distribution. This feature is enabled in 2D/3D Field Distribution window and allows for displaying Poynting vector S in the circuit with arrows. The 3D vector display is not enabled for Poynting vector directional components Sx, Sy, and Sz.
