Hey,

I have modeled two similar antennas in front of each other, so that the radiation field of first antenna can work as source for the second antenna.

Is this a correct way to model a receiving antenna or are there any other methods to model the same.

you are modelling a path. the antenna without a biased ferrite is reciprocal, so there is no difference between receiving and transmitting. you just have to be careful with power parameters definition, when calculating what you need.

Hey
could you please elaborate?

[poojasudha]

For port 1 the power used is 1 W & for port2 the power used is 0 W.

May I know what characteristics of the antenna you are trying to analyze in receiving mode?
In general the antennas are reciprocal devices. So it is sufficient to analyze only one antenna model in the simulation tool.
All the very best.
