Output files
show the output file
The output file contains information about the computation (input information, generated files, computation time, gain, S parameters, ...).
The totalResults.txt file contains all the results, except the frequency range (only the last frequency is stored in that file). The results.txt file is generated during the post-processing. It takes into account the parameters of the Results Visualisation (frequency, selected geometry parts, contributions).
If a frequency range is computed, the output far field patterns are stored in spirent format files. The name of these file contains the operating frequency. There is a gain file and a phase file. A right circular polarisation is assumed.
Let us consider the far field pattern. The electric field computed. The 1/r term is omitted. A spherical coordinate system is used to describe the direction of observation :
Coordinate system used to describe the polarisation :
The header contains :
For each direction of observation, there are 12 columns :
