ANALYSIS OF PLANAR-LAYERED METAL-DIELECTRIC STRUCTURES BY THE FINITE-DIFFERENCE METHOD IN THE TIME DOMAIN

摘要

The method of finite differences in the time domain has been used for treatment of the three-dimensional problem concerning propagation and radiation of electromagnetic waves by planar-layered printed metal-dielectric radiating structures. The results produced by this method are compared with those obtained by the method of integral equations for the case of a wide-band multilayer printed strip antenna excited by a slot.
