## Abstract This paper investigates the characteristics of conformal microstrip patch antennas using the rigorous FDTD approach based on a rectangular mesh and a staircase discretization scheme for the curved regions. It is shown that the conformal shape of microstrip patch antennas can be used as

## Abstract An accurate analysis of shorted microstrip patch antennas is presented based on the use of the locally conformal finiteโdifference timeโdomain (CFDTD) method. This approach enables the positions and dimensions of the probe and the shorting pin to be chosen independently. The calculated
## Abstract In this paper, a matched load termination of a finiteโlength line is used to represent an infinite feedline structure in FDTD simulations. A generator with an internal resistorโwhich is matched to the input portโis employed to excite the feedline, with a view to achieving a low reflecti
## Abstract Directly applying the higherโorder FDTD method to the computation of antenna patterns has not been a practical approach thus far. One of the main difficulties is how to handle the perfect electric conductor (PEC), which is always present. This paper describes a procedure for handling th
