Dear All, Thanks for your reply. Here, I added a ground plane to close to the real impedance at time-domain. But it doesn't work at frequency domain. If I add a ground plane, it'll destroy the structure. That I can't get the exact resonant frequency. Maybe I will get more correct results by another way. Thanks!!
