BowTieSlot#

class ansys.aedt.toolkits.antenna.backend.antenna_models.bowtie.BowTieSlot(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Manages a bowtie slot antenna.

This class is accessible through the Hfss object [1].

Parameters:
frequencyfloat, optional

Center frequency. The default is 10.0.

frequency_unitstr, optional

Frequency units. The default is "GHz".

materialstr, optional

Substrate material. If a material is not defined, a new material, parametrized, is defined. The default is "FR4_epoxy".

outer_boundarystr, optional

Boundary type to use. The default is None. Options are "FEBI", "PML", "Radiation", and None.

length_unitstr, optional

Length units. The default is "mm".

substrate_heightfloat, optional

Substrate height. The default is 0.1575.

parametrizedbool, optional

Whether to create a parametrized antenna. The default is True.

Returns:
aedt.toolkits.antenna.BowTieSlot

Bowtie antenna object.

>>> oantenna1.frequency = 12.0
>>> oantenna1.model_hfss()
>>> oantenna1.setup_hfss()
>>> oantenna2 = BowTieSlot(app, origin=[200, 50, 0])
>>> oantenna2.model_hfss()
>>> oantenna2.setup_hfss()
>>> app.release_desktop(False, False)
