I am confused, u say you dont want any solder mask on the antenna, then you put a layer of solder mask on it. I dont understand how the solder masking is working on the ADS?
Hi Ahsan. At 8:04 I said that wherever the solder mask layer is, the PCB manufacturer will NOT put solder mask on that section. Because I did not want any solder mask on my antenna I covered the whole antenna with a layer of solder mask. Let me know if there is anymore confusion
@@ahsan_akz for me it was used to let the PCB manufacturer know where to not put Solder Mask. I could not tell you exactly what it's purpose is in ADS, I was just going off what my TA told me. You may want to Google it to find the exact answer you are looking for.
Thanks for sharing this. But when I try to input my patch antenna from HFSS to ADS, I can only have my substrate, The patch is missing. Do you know how to solve this problem?
@@kaifan976 I am facing a similar problem. After importing dxf file into ADS, only one layer is showing (instead of the three). Please explain what is your z for the top layer, substrate and ground plane.
@@chrisheadley808 At 2.20 after importing the dxf file you are getting three layers (base, substrate and the top layer). But in my case, I am getting only one layer. What could be the solution?
This video is very helpful to me. Thank you very much!
Thanks a lot. You helped me!
How did you create circular slots
What to do in ADS when defining layers if there is a non-standard thru hole in the board?
I'm not sure:( sorry I can't help!
Similarly can we upload Layout Design from ADS into HFSS????? If yes, then which file format??
Ajay Mothe not sure :(

@@chrisheadley808 thanks for the reply! what is the function of the solder mask in ADS?

@@chrisheadley808 now i get it

Maybe you’re not exporting all the layers? It’s been awhile since I’ve had to do that. Sorry I’m not much help
@@chrisheadley808 Thanks for the reply. Fortunately I solved it by just putting patch at z=0.
@@kaifan976 glad to hear you solved it! Thanks for sharing your solution 😃
