7.4 Q-factor results

The Q-Factor frame shows the results of calculating three quality factors.

The quality factors are defined as follows:

· Qe = 2*π*f * AVR Reference Energy / AVR Electric Pdiss

· Qm = 2*π*f * AVR Reference Energy / AVR Magnetic Pdiss

· Qt = 2*π*f * AVR Reference Energy / AVR Total Pdiss

Reference Energy can be selected with radio buttons:

· electric Ee: AVR Reference Energy = 2 * AVR Electric Energy

· magnetic Em: AVR Reference Energy = 2 * AVR Magnetic Energy

· total Et: AVR Reference Energy = AVR Total Energy

The information about FDTD iterations is given in the status bar.

Detailed discussion regarding Q-factors calculation is given in Power dissipated, energy stored and Q-factors.
