How to consider the damping losses in SAW devices, in order to obtain the real part of the impedance

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am trying to model a Surface acoustic wave device using Comsol 4.1.
I want to obtain the real and imaginary part of Y11 impedance so I can further process it.
So far, I was able to obtain the imaginary part. Instead, the real part is a straight line equal to 0(zero).
Has any of you managed to solve a similar problem?
Do I have to manually add some coefficients for damping?
Do I have to do anything special?
How important are the PMLs?

Thank you,

Catalin B.
