Listing the Currents in a Segment

To analyze how the current at a specific point on your antenna behaves across a range of frequencies, follow this procedure:

  1. Select the Wire: Right-click on the desired wire in the workspace to open the pop-up menu.
  2. Open the Toolbar: Click the List Currents command. The List Currents toolbar will appear at the bottom of the interface (Fig. 1).
  3. Target the Segment: Move the slider to navigate through the segments of the selected wire. You can use the 50% button to jump to the center or watch the Segment Position % display to find a specific location.
  4. View Frequency Data: Click the Current on Segment button. This opens a dialog box that tabulates the current data for every frequency step in your simulation. The table includes:
    • Amplitude
    • Phase
    • Real Part
    • Imaginary Part
  5. Generate a Plot: Click the Plot button within the dialog box to launch AN-XY Chart, where you can visualize the current magnitude or phase as a function of frequency.
