Hello Meghjit,

Driven Modal is used for calculating the mode-based S-parameters of passive, high-frequency structures such as microstrips, waveguides, and transmission lines which are “driven” by a source, and for computing incident plane wave scattering.
Now, Driven Terminal is used for calculating the terminal-based S-parameters of passive,
high-frequency structures with multi-conductor transmission line ports which are “driven” by a source. This solution type results in a terminal-based description in terms of voltages and currents. Some modal data is also available.
I suppose you want to visualize some Antenna Parameters. Both Driven Modal and Driven Terminal can yield such results. That being said, depending on the design’s needs you can use either.

You can always find this, and more, information in the Help documents. 
Hope this helps!
