Steps for Calculating the Complex Vector Electric Field

These are the field calculator steps to obtain the real part, the imaginary part, and the magnitude of the x-directed, y-directed, and z-directed components of the phasor electric field. For each of these vector components, the magnitude should be equal to sqrt(real²+imag²), but the need to interpolate values and the calculation sequence means that HFSS does not give this value unless the specified location is directly on a mesh element node.

1. Calculate real part of complex vector electric field (in x, y, and z directions):

1. Qty > E
2. Complex > Real
3. Geometry > Point > fieldcalc_point
4. Value
5. Eval

2. Calculate imaginary part of complex vector electric field (in x, y, and z directions):

1. Qty > E
2. Complex > Imag
3. Geometry > Point > fieldcalc_point
4. Value
5. Eval

Use the real and imaginary components to manually calculate the magnitude as the sqrt (real²+imag²).
