Hi all, I am pretty new to MEEP fdtd software. I wanted to simulate an antenna response near a metal conductor. I took help from the tutorial example for this https://github.com/NanoComp/meep/blob/master/python/examples/antenna-radiation.ipynb Can I place the metal conductor in the near field region and calculate similar far-field beam patterns. I read in the docs that " all these "near surfaces" must lie in a single homogeneous material with isotropic ε and μ ". So I was confused as if I add a metal there that won't be the case. I tried placing in the near region but my results were really ambiguous. Kindly advise.
