Archimedean#

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

Manages conical archimedeal spiral antenna.

This class is accessible through the app hfss object [1].

Parameters:

frequencyfloat, optional: Center frequency. The default is 10.0.
frequency_unitstr, optional: Frequency units. The default is "GHz".
materialstr, optional: Horn material. If a material is not defined, a new material, parametrized, is defined. The default is "pec".
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".
parametrizedbool, optional: Whether to create a parametrized antenna. The default is True.

Returns:

aedt.toolkits.antenna.Archimedean: Conical archimedean spiral object.
