Incident Waves Theory

There are different kinds of incident wave sources in HFSS. Analytical wave forms are defined by formulas. The following analytical wave forms exist:

• Plane Wave
• Evanescent Plane Wave
• Elliptically Polarized Plane Wave
• Electric Spherical Wave (Electric Hertzian Dipole)
• Magnetic Spherical Wave (Magnetic Hertzian Dipole)
• Cylindrical Wave
• Gaussian Beam
• Linear Antenna

Numerical Wave Forms can come from the solution of another HFSS project or from a non-HFSS project via DataLink. Two numerical wave forms exist:

• Near Field Wave
• Far Field Wave
