AddPlaneWaveExcite

AddPlaneWaveExcite(CSX, name, k_dir, E_dir, <f0, varargin>)

Full definition:

function CSX = AddPlaneWaveExcite(CSX, name, k_dir, E_dir, <f0, varargin>)

Creates a plane wave excitation in the sense of a total-field/scattered field approach.

Note: A plane wave excitation must not intersect with any kind of material. This exctiation type can only be applies in air/vacuum and completely surrounding a structure!!!

Note: Only a single Box can be applied to this property!!

Arguments

CSX: CSX-struct created by InitCSX
name: property name for the excitation
k_dir: unit vector of wave progation direction
E_dir: electric field polarisation vector (must be orthogonal to k_dir)
f0: frequency for numerical phase velocity compensation (optional)

example:

inc_angle = 0 /180*pi; %incident angle on the x-axis
k_dir = [cos(inc_angle) sin(inc_angle) 0]; % plane wave direction
E_dir = [0 0 1]; % plane wave polarization --> E_z
f0 = 500e6;      % frequency for numerical phase velocity compensation

CSX = AddPlaneWaveExcite(CSX, 'plane_wave', k_dir, E_dir, f0);
