Types of Results
Commands to Display Results
The output data of a simulation can be listed in tables or displayed in graphs. All results are found under the Results menu >, and are categorized into four groups:
Results related to current distribution
- Run > Plot Current Distribution command.
- Run > Plot Currents command.
- Run > List Currents command.
- Run > List Input Impedances command.
Results related to the far field
- Run > Plot Far-Field Pattern command.
- Run > Plot Far-Field Spectrum command.
- Run > List Far-Field Pattern command.
- Run > List Far-Field Spectrum command.
- Run > Power Budget/RCS command.
Results related to the near E-Field
- Run > Plot Near E-Field Pattern command.
- Run > Plot Near E-Field Spectrum command.
- Run > List Near E-Field Pattern command.
- Run > List Near E-Field Spectrum command.
Results related to the near H-Field
- Run > Plot Near H-Field Pattern command.
- Run > Plot Near H-Field Spectrum command.
- Run > List Near H-Field Pattern command.
- Run > List Near H-Field Spectrum command.
Tip
See the most relevant results for transmitting antennas in the Results tab > of the main window.
Lists and Plots
Listing the currents or input impedances means tabulating them as a function of frequency.
In the case of fields, they can be listed at a given point versus the frequency (Spectrum) or at a given frequency versus the observation point (Pattern).
AN-SOF includes a suite of four tools for plotting results: AN-XY Chart >, AN-Smith >, AN-Polar > and AN-3D Pattern >.
