HFSS Tutorial: Frequency Selection Surface

This document provides instructions for using HFSS to simulate a frequency selection surface to compute reflection and transmission coefficients at different frequencies. Key steps include setting up a circular patch-aperture-patch structure between master and slave boundaries, defining Floquet ports at the top and bottom planes, and running simulations to analyze the structure's response from 6 to 20 GHz while varying the scan angle.
