Hi Before i didn't know how to simulate antenna but with your great video i improve my skill in hfss and cst now i can simulate any paper about antenna also design antenna .if you get free time please upload more video with CST & HFSS Thank you sir you help me a lot
Hi sir, you explain every very clearly and efficiently but one thing I don't know that how can we calculate the parameters or dimension for our desire AMC.
Dear Sir I am trying to design a Circularly Polarization reflective metasurface. I want to know, how to get the accurate circularly polarized reflection parameters when I try to illuminate the unit cell with a circularly polarized excitation wave. I set one Floquet port having two modes, 90 degree out of phase from each other. After simulation, I am able to plot the (FloquetPort1:1,FloquetPort1:1); S(FloquetPort1:2,FloquetPort1:2); S(FloquetPort1:2,FloquetPort1:1); S(FloquetPort1:1,FloquetPort1:2); But they both seem to represent the linear polarizations. How to get the circular polarization, like S(RHCP,LHCP);S(LHCP,LHCP). Is there any formula to calculate it? Thank you.
Thank you.... can i know why S11 and S22 are not identical? and what port 1 and port 2 means? Also, i want to know how i can measure the far field pattern to obtain the phase shift of the mainlobe in the case of varactor based RIS?
Hello! Sir, what if AMC metal has thickness, what is the distance of the de-embedded would be? is box height minus the substrate thickness and metal thckness ? or only minus substrate thickness? thank you !
[error] Port 'FloquetPort1': The exterior boundary of the faces for a Floquet Port must consist of pairs of parallel and equal length segments, displaced from each other by an integer linear combination of the lattice vectors. (2:55:10 PM Jan 22, 2025) why i am facing this error in my project.
Sir, What will be the dimension of substrate during single unit cell analysis using floquet port ? Is there any specific formula for substrate size during single unit cell analysis ? Please suggest me.
Sir, I want to simulate an 3x3 reflectarray to get reflection coefficient and reflection phase. How should I set the boundaries for an array? Thank you.
Thank you for this webinar. Very informative. Sir, I have designed a rectangular patch antenna with the coaxial probe, and the resultant gain is around 2.5dB. Is it possible to maximize the gain using AMC for 1.06GHz? Is it possible to place AMC unit cells on the designed patch?
@@tensorbundle sir, how to calculate the dimensions of unit cells? Is there any formulas? Once we design the unit cells, then how to place that structure on the designed patch?

@@tensorbundle Thanks for that. Does this imply that there should not be a Rad_BC at the Floquet port? Also, What if there is a transmission line below the GND plane. Should there be a rad_BC at the bottom of the unit cell?
@@MMbass420 1. Yes no rad_BC at floquet port 2. If you have a full ground plane in the unit cell, the ground plane itself acts as a PEC boundary, hence no need to separately define any rad_BC even if there is any transmission line below ground. Anything below ground does not impact reflection coefficient condition due to ground's inherent PEC boundary condition,
Thank you sir for this webinar. i want to ask one question in hfss you put height of unit cell is lambda by 4 .at 5 ghz is height is 15 mm but you put 80mm.how?? plese clear this
Have you listened to the audio while playing the video? If you watch the video again, you will hear I said "at least" quarter-wave length. "At least" means "minimum" in English. If something is "at least X quantity", mathematically this translates to "greater than or equal" to X.
Sir is there is any formula to calculate the dimension of unit cell, as i know that max dimension is lambda by 10.of unit cell.i am regularly listen your video very informative lecture.
No reason! The principles are also same in CST. Being an American company, HFSS has more dominance and uses in academia in all over US/Canadian universities compared to European-owned CST. Perhaps that's the reason.
Please kindly refer to CST or HFSS help documentation. They wrote in details about Floquet port in the documentation. It is difficult to convey details in limited space of comment section
and if I have transmit FSS unit cell what I should put for floquet port for get S21 and what will happen to the reflection phase in this case FSS unit cell?
Floquet has certain advantages such as it can model inclined incidence wave. Waveport cannot consider inclined incidence wave- it can only model normal incidence wave to unit cell
These unit cells are mostly modelled by lumped RLC circuits and an initial design is started with some known basic structure such as a rectangular patch, ring etc. Then more complicated response can be optimized using trial and error
Thanks a lot, Mr.Hasan for this video, could you Make a video for the same thing "Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC): Reflection Phase, Unit Cell Design & Floquet Port " in CST
Actually both conventions are used. -90° to 90 convention was introduced by prof. Sievenpiper and 45° was introduced by prof. Rahmat-Samii's research group.
Considering the unit cell being embedded into a box that has six planes in total. The wave port is defined at the top plane and must be de-embedded to the surface to the Unit cell. The PMC and PEC are to be defined on the four side planes with co-planar configuration. If the unit cell has a ground beneath, no need to assign any boundary at the bottom plane since ground plane overrides it.
taking larger box does not matter. If it was smaller, then would have mattered. Lambda/4 is the minimum distance. We can take larger distance than that. No harm in it.

I don't know why I can't click the Floquet port. Someone help me, please.
Thanks for nice webinar
most welcome
When you will make a video on how to simulate AMC in CST as promised before?
Thanku Sir... Is there any video which can explain the design of antenna using array of AMC...
thank you for valuable content
My pleasure
for the Analytical 1 how we assigne the wave port?
thank you, sir. how can define the number of amc arrays in hfss in this method

Sir, I want to simulate an 3x3 reflectarray to get reflection coefficient and reflection phase. How should I set the boundaries for an array? Thank you.
You can apply Radiation boundary. Alternatively, using FEBI and PML boundaries also yield similar results
I hope you will do the same simulation in CST as you promised us

yes possible. There are some research papers reported where they used AMC as superstrate on top of antenna to increase gain
@@tensorbundle sir, how to calculate the dimensions of unit cells? Is there any formulas? Once we design the unit cells, then how to place that structure on the designed patch?
I have designed an antenna for 1GHz, and I am getting 2.5db gain. I have to improve the gain of the designed antenna using metamaterials.

@@tensorbundleThank you sir.
You have set the height of the box to lambda/4 (80mm), but for a design frequency of 5GHZ, the lambda/4 = 15mm.
taking larger box does not matter. If it was smaller, then would have mattered
Lambda/4 is the minimum distance. We can take larger distance than that. No harm in it.
Please can you help me to do the same in CST software
Thanks for the video! Is there any case in which you'd assign a radiation boundary in addition to the floquet port? Thanks
no, floquet modes require periodic boundary condition (PBC), hence side walls are always modelled as PEC and PMC boundaries
@@tensorbundle Thanks for that.
Does this imply that there should not be a Rad_BC at the Floquet port? Also, What if there is a transmission line below the GND plane. Should there be a rad_BC at the bottom of the unit cell?

Thank you, Im wondering why you avoid to do that in CST software
No reason! The principles are also same in CST. Being an American company, HFSS has more dominance and uses in academia in all over US/Canadian universities compared to European-owned CST. Perhaps that's the reason.
Very informative video, Hassan. Why distance of the floquet port is kept at 80mm? Shouldn't it be lamdba/4 at lower frequency of sweep?
Lambda/4 is the minimum distance. We can take larger distance than that. No harm in it.
What is the principle of floiquet port? Why should we use it to get the result of the changing of phase?
Please kindly refer to CST or HFSS help documentation. They wrote in details about Floquet port in the documentation. It is difficult to convey details in limited space of comment section
and if I have transmit FSS unit cell what I should put for floquet port for get S21 and what will happen to the reflection phase in this case FSS unit cell?
you need to define two floquet ports (up and down) for transmittance phase
Thanks for the video sir, Which one is better Floquet port or Wave port. Kindly clarify sir...
Floquet has certain advantages such as it can model inclined incidence wave. Waveport cannot consider inclined incidence wave- it can only model normal incidence wave to unit cell
@@tensorbundle Thanks for the reply, you are very helpful. keep doing it.
can we optimise this design for broader bandwidth in hfss?
Yeah, you can use thicker substrate unit cell to increase the BW
Thank you so much sir, but are there any design equations for the dimensions for an unit cell ? As they form an array the dimensions really matters!
These unit cells are mostly modelled by lumped RLC circuits and an initial design is started with some known basic structure such as a rectangular patch, ring etc. Then more complicated response can be optimized using trial and error
Thanks a lot, Mr.Hasan for this video, could you Make a video for the same thing "Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC): Reflection Phase, Unit Cell Design & Floquet Port " in CST

@@tensorbundle Sir I m highly looking for your video for the same thing using cst, hope it will be available soon.
what about array sir
In Reflection Phase degree - why -90° to 90° consider as bandgap sir.. why not 45° sir??
Actually both conventions are used. -90° to 90 convention was introduced by prof. Sievenpiper and 45° was introduced by prof. Rahmat-Samii's research group.
Sir how make 4 by 4 array
Sir, what about wave port and pec/pmc boundary in hfss? Can you please make one tutorial on that?
Considering the unit cell being embedded into a box that has six planes in total. The wave port is defined at the top plane and must be de-embedded to the surface to the Unit cell. The PMC and PEC are to be defined on the four side planes with co-planar configuration. If the unit cell has a ground beneath, no need to assign any boundary at the bottom plane since ground plane overrides it.
@@tensorbundle thank you sir, it would be helpful if you made one video with wave port creation in the unit cell in HFSS
please make a video for designing it in CST Microwave studio.
okay thanks for suggestion. I have thought of it before to make. But time does not allow me to make it
Please make video in this topic in cst studio software.

I sent you an email regarding floquet ports.. thanks!
Radiation Box height should be more than 15 mm but you have taken 80mm???
