Monopole antenna on a finite plate

Monopole antenna on a finite plate


Two differences with respect to the previous case :



Create a line with extremities at : (0 0 0) and (0 0 0.25)


Create a disk with :


or alternatively with the menu Geometry => Create = > Object => Circle


Enter the coordinates of the center : (0 0 0)

and the radius : 1


The obtained geometry :


Set the frequency to 300 MHz


Assign surface properties on the disk plate with :


Assign an antenna property to the wire (same default radius as in the previous example).


Define the voltage source at the first point (0 0 0)


Define a short-circuit as the same point using




Then Generate the Mesh, Save and Run Icare


The computed far field pattern :




and the computed input impedance :
