Help on calculating port impedance Zpv using Field calculator under HFSS please

      Hello,

      I have a microstrip with a terminal voltage at total = 1V with port impoedance set to 50 ohm:

      CDN media

      CDN media

      I want to calculate port impedance using Field Calculator : Zpv = V²/P.

      For calculating V, I integrate E along the line :

      r/ANSYS - Help on calculating port impedance Zpv using Field calculator (terminal driven voltage on microstrip)

      using this formula :

      r/ANSYS - Help on calculating port impedance Zpv using Field calculator (terminal driven voltage on microstrip)

      CDN media

      and I got 1V so it work OK:

      For calculating P, I integrate Poyting vector on this surface :

      r/ANSYS - Help on calculating port impedance Zpv using Field calculator (terminal driven voltage on microstrip)

      r/ANSYS - Help on calculating port impedance Zpv using Field calculator (terminal driven voltage on microstrip)

      But after dividing quantity, I don't got 50 ohm but 318 ohm :

      r/ANSYS - Help on calculating port impedance Zpv using Field calculator (terminal driven voltage on microstrip)

      So it seems that my value for P is wrong no ?

      Thanks you !

      HFSS can directly compute the port impedance so there is no need to go through the field calculator
