Hi, I'm rather new to FDTD. As I see from the archives, most of you uses Meep for optics. I considered using Meep for microwave antenna simulations and got stuck. Maybe someone could point me further. I wanted to simulate a half-wavelength dipole transmit antenna as an excercise. Is it wise to try to use meep for such purposes at all? Because of the inherent interpolation in Meep, it seems hard to implement something directly at the Yee-cell level, even if I manipulate the resolution setting. I. e. I want to simulate a "thin wire" (wire with one Yee-cell "diameter"). Therefore I can't imagine how to incorporate the feeding and how to model for instance the source impedance by incorporating some lossy material without the need for a very fine resolution? I'm confused about sources in meep (or about physics in general :) How would I simulate a source feeding the antenna in meep? Thanks for any hints. BR Peter
