FEKO supports the use of a plane (electromagnetic) wave.  Does FEKO support the use of a convergent electromagnetic wave?

    Can you explain the term 'convergent electromagnetic wave' ? Also can you describe the problem you are trying to solve ?

     I am trying to simulate the electromagnetic response of a conical, conducting antenna to a beam of electromagnetic waves which converges to a focus near the tip of the antenna. I attach a pdf file showing a schematic sketch of the setup I wish to simulate in FEKO. I have been able to successfully simulate the response of the antenna to incident plane electromagnetic waves in FEKO. My question is how to implement the convergent electromagnetic wave in FEKO?

    Thanks for the clarification.  Feko does not offer the feature you are looking for 'Convergent Electromagnetic wave'. But you may want to use an alternative way to accomplish the same. For example you could use a dielectric lens to focus (converge) the plane waves at the point of interest.
