Options

Select “Ignore the influence of face/edge electrode thickness” *

* This is the default setting. There are no face electrodes with this model. Therefore it is irrelevant to select it or not.

Multigrid/Adaptive Mesh Method

Select “Use the adaptive mesh method”.

Frequency-Dependent Meshing

Reference frequency: 5×10^9[Hz]

Select “The conductor bodies thicker than the skin depth constitute the boundary condition.”

 

The surface of Metal is treated as the boundary condition having some loss,

as Metal is thicker than the skin depth.

Model

A coil (METAL) is formed in a substrate (SUB). I/O ports (PORT1,PORT2) are set on the faces where coil leads come out. Other substrate surfaces are set with the “electric wall” boundary condition.
