Hello,

I am using HFSS to design a dipole antenna. From what I can see so far, all the plots are dB vs theta or dB vs frequency. 

I am looking to plot mag vs distance (mm) OR power (watts) vs distance (mm) in order to determine how far an antenna could possible transmitt a signal under water. I am currently at the point of using the HFSS wizard to create the dipole antenna and then simply analysed the auto generated result plots. 

Is anyone able to help?

Hello Mitchell,

You can follow these steps to plot mag vs distance:

1. Draw a non-model line of the desired length pointing away from the dipole antenna outside the simulation box.
2. Add a near field line setup using this line.
3. Create the near field report using the rectangular plot. In the report dialog window, under Category, choose the desired option (near E or Near Poynting) and click New Report.
4. You will get the desired quantity vs normalized distance plot.

 

Hope this will help you.

Regards
