My professor suggested I try to recreate some of the work done in the past by researchers to gain a better understanding of the working of switches. For this purpose I have tried to recreate a working model of Dr. Pals design. It is his design and I take no credit for it whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>When the switch is in the ON or OFF configuration I do not get the expected S parameters. In the ON state my S11 is near 0dB and S21 near -60dB indicating that nearly all power is being reflected and none being passed on to the output port. If I plot the E and J fields it shows that my switch is inactive and not working. I have checked and rechecked my geometry, excitations and boundary conditions but can&#8217;t seem to figure out what&#8217;s wrong. Can anyone help me out in figuring what I might be doing wrong?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-38284","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["10462"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["730"],"_bbp_subscription":["243709"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["38284"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_engagement":["38936","169295"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["97227"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["97227"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2019-10-28 19:50:54"]},"test":"zorah"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/38284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/38284\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
