Formula Summary for HFSS Floquet Modes
- Planar array lattice is specified by lattice vectors a and b.
- Lattice angle a defined by a * b = abcosa
- Unit cell area A
- Global material is lossless, isotropic, and homogeneous, and specified by real er and mr.
- Frequency is specified in the form of free-space
wave number
where f
is
frequency and c
is the speed of light in a vacuum.
- Local coordinate system (LCS) unit vectors
and
are related to
lattice vectors by:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Unit vector
denotes scan direction. In the global coordinate
system (GCS) the components of
are given by (sinqscosfs, sinqssinqfs, cosqs) where scan angles qs and fs are specified as spherical angles
in the GCS.
