MODULE(S): [[EM.Tempo]], [[EM.Picasso]]
  
−
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In [[EM.Tempo]] and [[EM.Picasso]], this wizard creates a one-port open-ended microstrip transmission line segment. In [[EM.Ferma]], it sets up a 2D solution plane for quasi-static analysis of the microstrip transmission line. The width of the microstrip line is determined based on the specified characteristic impedance. It may be replaced by a numeric value instead. 
+
FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of an air bridge in the project workspace typically used to equalize the grounds of a CPW line
  
 +
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In [[EM.Tempo]], this wizard creates a free-standing air bridge only. In [[EM.Picasso]], it also creates and sets the substrate parameters.

FUNCTION: Creates a parameterized monostatic radar scene with a collocated point transmitter and receiver and a point scatterer at a certain range
 +
 +
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: The user can determine the locations of both the radar (transmitter and receiver) and the target. The user can also import a radiation pattern for the radar antenna and rotate the antenna arbitrarily. By default, a 20dB Y-polarized pyramidal horn antenna pointing along the X-axis is assumed. The target is assumed to be a PEC sphere of 1m radius. The user can change the attributes of the target scatterer group from within the wizard including its material composition, or alternatively import either polarimetric scattering matrix or RCS data.

NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In [[EM.Tempo]], this wizard creates a one-port open-ended coaxial transmission line segment. In [[EM.Ferma]], it sets up a 2D solution plane for quasi-static analysis of the coaxial transmission line. The radius of the outer conductor is determined based on the specified characteristic impedance. It may be replaced by a numeric value instead.
+
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In [[EM.Tempo]], the wizard creates a cross slot antenna on a dielectric substrate. In [[EM.Picasso]], the wizard creates a cross slot antenna on a slot trace. The total length of each slot is set equal to a half the effective wavelength, which can be changed. This wizard does not provide a default excitation source in either module.

NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates an array of pyramidal horn antennas fed by rectangular waveguides with a TE10 modal excitation. The larger dimension of each feeding waveguide is set slightly larger than half its cutoff wavelength for the dominant TE10 mode. The aspect ratio of each waveguide's cross section is 2:1. Its length is set to half the free-space wavelength. All of these dimensions can be replaced by arbitrary numeric values. The horn aperture dimensions and its overall length are calculated based on the specified antenna gain. All of these dimensions can be changed, too.

NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: The wizard asks you whether you want a microstrip-fed patch antenna with a recessed feed or one with a direct microstrip line junction. In [[EM.Tempo]], the feed line is excited by a microstrip port. In [[EM.Picasso]], the feed line has a scattering wave port. The total dimensions of the square patch are set equal to 0.5 times the effective dielectric wavelength, which can be changed.

NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates either a set of transmitters or a set of receivers along a specified path. The path can be specified in one of three different ways: (a) using an existing "virtual" nodal curve, i.e. a polyline or a NURBS curve, whose nodes define the base locations, (b) using an existing "virtual" line object by specifying the number of base location points, and (c) using an existing spatial Cartesian data file, which specifies the coordinates of the base location points. The Mobile Path Wizard provides a list of all the nodal curves or line objects that have been defined as virtual objects in the project workspace.

MODULE(S): [[EM.Terrano]]
  
−
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a substrate with two dielectric layers, which are separated by a PEC ground plane hosting a coupling slot. The upper layer hosts a rectangular patch antenna. The bottom layer hosts a microstrip feed line with an open stub, which is extended past the slot location. The total dimensions of the square patch are set equal to 0.47 times the effective dielectric wavelength, which can be changed. The length of the open stub beyond the slot location is set equal to a quarter guide wavelength, which can be changed, too.     
+
FUNCTION: Creates a set of randomly located and randomly oriented buildings with random dimensions and impenetrable walls in the project workspace
  
 +
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a realistic urban propagation scene with randomly located buildings in a square area of specified size. It can be used in two different ways. In the fully random mode, all the generated buildings are assigned and always retain random parameter values. Every time you open the Variables Dialog or open the same project, all the random variables get updated values. In the semi-random mode, the buildings are initially generated based on random parameter values, but these value are then fixed and locked for good.

ICON: [[File:trihed icon.png]]

NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a pyramidal horn antenna fed by a rectangular waveguide with a TE10 modal excitation. The larger dimension of the feeding waveguide is set slightly larger than half its cutoff wavelength for the dominant TE10 mode. The aspect ratio of the waveguide's cross section is 2:1. Its length is set to half the free-space wavelength. All of these dimensions can be replaced by arbitrary numeric values. The horn aperture dimensions and its overall length are calculated based on the specified antenna gain. All of these dimensions can be changed, too.

FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a two-port coplanar waveguide segment on a single-layer dielectric substrate in the project workspace
  
−
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a realistic urban propagation scene with randomly located buildings in a square area of specified size. It can be used in two different ways. In the fully random mode, all the generated buildings are assigned and always retain random parameter values. Every time you open the Variables Dialog or open the same project, all the random variables get updated values. In the semi-random mode, the buildings are initially generated based on random parameter values, but these value are then fixed and locked for good. By default, a half-wave vertical dipole transmitter is placed at the center of the scene and a grid of isotropic receivers cover the entire propagation scene.   
+
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In [[EM.Tempo]], the two ports are placed at the two edges of the substrate.

FUNCTION: Creates a mountainous terrain with a random rough surface in the project workspace
+
FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a two-port stripline segment of a specified characteristic impedance on a conductor-backed single-layer dielectric substrate in the project workspace
  
−
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a mountainous terrain using a surface object generated with a bi-cubic spline profile. The surface is then roughened based on the specified statistics. This wizard can be used to create either a mountain range with three peaks or a single-peak mountain.  
+
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In [[EM.Tempo]], the two ports are placed at the two edges of the substrate. The width of the Stripline is determined based on the specified characteristic impedance. It may be replaced by a numeric value instead.

NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: In EM.Tempo and EM.Picasso, this wizard creates a one-port open-ended stripline transmission line segment. In EM.Ferma, it sets up a 2D solution plane for quasi-static analysis of the stripline transmission line. The width of the stripline is determined based on the specified characteristic impedance. It may be replaced by a numeric value instead.
