Modelling a PCB antenna from TI CC-Antenna-DK2

Hello,

I'm fairly new to Feko, and I did most of the tutorials in the E-book. My task is to model the following dual-band PCB antenna from the TI CC-Antenna-DK2. The goal is to ensure that the simulated S11 is the same as the S11 measured by VNA. The CADFEKO model I made so far is attached, and I have a few questions:

  1. Do I need to consider the thickness of the PCB in the model (using Cuboid instead of Rectangle)?
  2. Do I have to include the ground plane and the through holes in the model? How?
  3. How can I model the loads (Z38, Z36, Z35, Z37)? The schematic is also attached.

Please let me know if you need more information. Thank you so much for your time and support!

Best regards,

Pengyu
