Hi All,
I am trying to do a simulation of a layered structure in FEKO. The structure I am working with is a simple PEC face coated in 0.9 mm of human skin dielectric. The simulation is measuring the near fields around the layered face. The 0.9 mm is about 3 skin depths worth of material for the frequencies I am working at. The face is a square 100 mm by 100 mm and centered on the Y axis (The square is parallel the XZ plane) and located 240 mm away from the origin along the Y-axis. The near field measurements are along the x axis. There is an ideal electrical dipole radiating at 79 GHz at the origin of the simulation. I actually ran two simulations. One with just the PEC face and one after applying the layered substrate. Note that for the face I am using a physical optics with full ray tracing solution to speed the simulation up. I noticed that after both simulations were complete the results of the near field were extremely close to being identical which seemed fishy. Additionally when I go into postFeko and look at the simulated model the layered structures color denoting it as a layered structure is replaced with the PEC orange color. Because of this I am wondering if FEKO is correctly meshing the layered structure or if it even registers that there is a layered structure? If anyone has any thoughts or advice I would appreciate it.
Thank You,
Cole Harlow
