In feko how do I find the power dissipated in a non-radiating network

tobias_from_edag

Hello,

I am currently simulating several co-located antennas. Most of the antennas have matching networks implemented as "general network" in the network schematic layer.

how can I plot the power dissipated in the "general network" in postfeko?

I see options to plot "power" and "power in" for each port of the GN. But there seems to be no documentation on what each of those setting mean. Also the dissipated power should be identical for each port, but none of those settings are.

Hello Tobias,

If you look at the .out file, you can find the following result for Non-Radiating Networks (2 port network).

Here, you can see two power loss values at port 1 and at port 2. (One is positive (=input power, entering power) and the other is negative (=output power, delivering power)). Two power loss values are vey similar, so the total loss in networks (in the bottom line) is very small.

Best regards,

Jaehoon
