Software used for the simulation of small chip antenna is HFSS High Frequency Simulator
Structure; HFSS is a high performance full wave electromagnetic (EM) field simulator for
arbitrary 3D volumetric passive device modelling that takes advantage of the familiar Microsoft
Windows graphical user interface. It integrates simulation, visualization, solid modelling, and
automation in an easy to learn environment where solutions to your 3D EM problems are quickly
and accurate obtained.
HFSS can be used to calculate parameters such as S-Parameters, Resonant Frequency, and
Fields. Typical uses include:
Main Steps for Designing and Simulation
HFSS has a 3-dimentional view as shown in Figure 4.1, for detail see the appendix A.
Figure 4.1 showing the xyz plane
Select the substrate of same dimensions and thickness; as shown in figure 4.2
The above simulated result shows that Small Chip Antenna can work on dual frequency 2.4GHz
and 5.8GHz.
