1.4     Project preparation ppw1

The model is a parallel plate transmission line (violet colour on the both sides indicates PMC boundary conditions) excited with a plane wave (red transmission line port) and terminated with a load port (green transmission line port) matched to the line. The transmission line is filled with air.

The project creation process can be divided into several steps:

• New project

• Defining the type of the structure and background medium

• Drawing the structure

• Drawing the ports

• Setting boundary conditions

• Setting up the mesh

• Exporting the project and running the simulation
