1. Build using modeler the following shown wire monopole placed above a square ground plane,
GND Plane
The parameters shown in the figure are: monopole length L = 35.625 mm, square
ground plane width W = 200 mm, wire diameter d = 0.3 mm, and gap width where discrete port
excitation is placed g = L/200.
1. Place the side absorbing boundary box walls touching the GND conducting plane (i.e. use
open boundary). This placement corresponds to the use of infinite ground plane. Place
the upper absorbing boundary at a distance above the tip of the monopole (i.e. use open
(add space) boundary). Plot the S-parameters between 1 GHz and 3 GHz, and find dipole
resonance frequency.
2. Plot the radiation pattern in the E-plane, and show it comply with the theoretical monopole
results.
3. Now instead of using absorbing boundaries touching the edges of the conducting square, use
absorbing boundaries placed at a distance from the structure in all directions (i.e. use open
(add space) for all boundaries). Plot again the radiation pattern in the E-plane and compare
it with the results obtained in part 3. Explain the difference.
