Negative real impedance? (HFSS design)
Negative real impedance? (HFSS design)
(OP)
Hi everyone, im new to this group so i hope you can help me...
I've been working with HFSS for a while now, designing RF coils for MRI. The structure is pretty simple - a single turn coil with a coax feed. the feed is blocked by a copper block on its port end, and the inner coax connects to the coil... (coil radius=7cm) the problem is that i keep getting negative real part for my impedance in low freq. (around 100MHz).
Happend to any of you? what's that supposed to mean in HFSS?
thanks in advance
Alex

Impedance on electrically small antennas will be very high and very real.
Do you work for GE. Alot of their MRI's are at 63 Mhz.

I know it is not much, but good luck.
