Dipole in Front of a Cube

Calculate the radiation pattern for a half-wavelength dipole in front of a cuboid. View the effect of the cuboid on the radiation pattern.

The far field results are compared for the following cuboid configurations:
  1. Perfect electric conductor (PEC) cuboid
  2. Lossy metallic cuboid
  3. Dielectric cuboid

Tip: It is recommended to create the models in the order it is presented as each model uses its predecessor as a starting point. If you would like to keep the different models, save each model to a new location before starting a new sub example.
