Abstract
The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is applied to study th e performances of E-plane sectoral horn antennas designed for broad-ba nd applications, These antennas have a large bandwidth, and they are e asily array integrated, These antennas have a highly complicated geome try that is modeled using a polygonal approximation in the curved boun daries. Perfect matched layers (PML's) combined with first-order absor bing boundaries are employed to simulate the free-space environment in the FDTD mesh.
