Port Refinement error in coaxial probe fed stacked microstrip antenna

      Hey


      I am designing a stacked microstrip antenna, when i excite the patch with a coaxial probe feed this is the error i get:


      AMS_design (DAsymmetric MS/)
        HFSSDesign1 (DrivenTerminal)
          [error] Port refinement, process hf3d error: Too few conductors were found on port 1.  There should be one conductor for each terminal, with one additional reference conductor.  Unintentional contact between conductors may cause this error.. (2:52:59 PM  May 18, 2019)
          [error] Simulation completed with execution error on server: Local Machine. (2:52:59 PM  May 18, 2019)


      Please help me rectify the error.


      Thank you

      Can you post a screenshot of how you're defining the port? Make sure that you are defining the port on a 2D sheet that is touching two separate conductors on two different edges...

      Thanku Sir, the error is now rectified.

      Hi Peter, I have similar issue, but my port is definitely touching both separate conductors on opposite edges.nboth GoldLane and GroundPlane touch the port, but i'm still getting the same error Meryl was.n
