Microstrip Trace with SMA Connector Simulation in Ansys HFSS Software

This workshop focuses on simulating an microstrip trace with stub connected to a SMA connector using Ansys HFSS™ high-frequency electromagnetic simulation software. You will learn how to insert 3D components, assign boundaries, create lumped ports, define radiation regions, and set up parametric sweeps. It covers analyzing S-parameters for different positions of the stub along the trace. It also covers visualizing surface current distributions to view the electromagnetic field propagation along the traces.

Learning Outcomes:

Following completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Integrate 3D components into HFSS designs.
• Assign boundaries and ports open transmission line configurations.
• Configure analysis setups including HPC options and frequency sweeps.
• Perform parametric studies to evaluate design variations.
• Interpret S-parameter plots for bandwidth and resonance behaviour.
• Visualize surface current distributions for better understanding of RF performance.
• Optimize stub position for desired frequency response.

Prerequisites:

• Getting Started with HFSS Software course.
