How can I get my simulation results to match my experimental results?

Hello, 

I have been using CADFEKO and POSTFEKO to run simulations on a device to measure its reflection coefficient. However, my results from the simulation do not match my experimental results. Below I have provided images of these results (Top=my results, Bottom=experimental results).

I run my simulation using a start frequency of 1GHz and an end frequency of 3GHz. The number of frequencies is 100 with frequency increments of 20.202MHz (using Linearly Spaced Discrete Points). I have also attached a copy of my model. 

What adjustments, changes, or additions should I make to my model so that the results will match/be similar?

    Hello Yolanda, 

    Based on your simulation result (reflection coefficients are larger than 1), a PIFA antenna and its substrate were not tightly coupled due to not-enough meshes.

    Since the number of the unknown of the (MoM) geometry becomes bigger (by finer meshing), I recommend you to change the substract part to the infinite multi-layer structure. (Then you don't have to worry about longer simulation time caused by the finer meshed .)

    I ran the simulation with the attached file by using the multilayer as below.

    Please check if there is any variation in antenna length or geometry or try more meshes with the attached model.
