Hello,
I am researching an antenna designed to cover the whole W-Band (75-110 GHz) I found in this forum that when we put discrete port with 50 Ohm Impedance, the resulting Z matrix represents the antenna's input impedance. I attached the Z matrix result that I got from CST below.
My question is, since I can only feed my antenna with one line impedance value, how do I determine that value? And since the feeding line will probably have only real value, what should I do with the imaginary part of the antenna's impedance?
In this case I tried averaging the real impedance values from 75-110 GHz and it comes out as 175 Ohm. The antenna showed good return loss when I feed it with 175 Ohm discrete port. Is it a correct way to determine it? Or there is other formula I need to incorporate the imaginary part?
Thank you in advance.
