Abstract

New techniques are described for the FDTD analysis of radiating structures mounted on infinite planar dielectric substrates. These techniques are the near-field-to-far-field transform and the total-field/scattered-field boundary, or the plane-wave injector. For demonstrating the use of these techniques, a practical ultra-wideband antenna on an ungrounded dielectric substrate is analyzed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
