Application of the time-domain finite-difference method to the study of microstrip antennas
Abstract
A study of microstrip antennas is directly made in the time domain using the finite difference method. For a good choice of the excitation, Fourier transforms can be used for frequential parameter calculations. Dielectric interfaces the various feed modes (coaxial, microstrip lines) can rigorously be taken into account by the time domain finite difference method.
