RectangularPatchProbe

class ansys.aedt.toolkits.antenna.backend.antenna_models.patch.RectangularPatchProbe(*args, **kwargs)

Manages a rectangular patch antenna with a coaxial probe.

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 the material is not defined, a new material, parametrized, is created. 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 1.575.

parametrizedbool, optional

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

Returns:

aedt.toolkits.antenna.RectangularPatchProbe

Patch antenna object.
