Model Wizard
These step-by-step instructions guide you through the design and modeling of the lossy three-port circulator in 3D. The first part involves the geometric design and impedance matching at a nominal frequency of 3 GHz. A frequency sweep is then performed over a 400 MHz band centered at 3 GHz to evaluate the device performance. Finally, the entire S-parameter matrix is computed.
Note:
These instructions are for the user interface on Windows but also apply, with minor differences, also to Linux and Mac.
1
To start the software, double-click the COMSOL icon on the desktop. When the software opens, you can choose to use the Model Wizard to create a new COMSOL Multiphysics model or Blank Model to create one manually. For this tutorial, click the Model Wizard button.
If COMSOL Multiphysics is already open, you can start the Model Wizard by selecting New
from the File menu and then click Model Wizard
.
The Model Wizard guides you through the first steps of setting up a model. The next window lets you select the dimension of the modeling space.

In the Select Physics tree, expand Radio Frequency, and double-click Electromagnetic Waves, Frequency Domain
so that it appears in the Added physics interface list.
Alternatively, select Electromagnetic Waves, Frequency Domain
and click the Add button.
