Ports are the interfaces of the system through which electromagnetic fields propagate into or away from the system. These ports can be used either as sources or as sinks depending on your requirements. Ansys HFSS in Ansys Electronics Desktop (AEDT) has various options to generate incident fields that interact with a structure to produce the total fields on the computational need. Some of these excitations offered by Ansys HFSS are wave port, lumped port, and Floquet port. This course explains these port types briefly and serves as a guide for selecting the appropriate port type for your needs.

Ansys HFSS Floquet Port

Antennas are the means of communication that can transmit as well as receive signals. The communication distance depends not only on the operating frequency band but also on the design characteristics of the radiating element. Out of all the available antenna types, patch antennas can be compact and of low profile while having required radiation capabilities. However, certain applications like 5G, ADAS, V2X require these patch antennas implemented in array for having more directional gain, impedance bandwidth, beam steering capability, etc. In this AIC module, we are going to detail microstrip patch and its array as a method of design.
