Gp. Junker et al., INPUT IMPEDANCE OF MICROSTRIP-SLOT-COUPLED DIELECTRIC RESONATOR ANTENNAS MOUNTED ON THIN DIELECTRIC LAYERS, International journal of microwave and millimeter-wave computer-aided engineering, 6(3), 1996, pp. 174-182
An efficient numerical technique based upon a surface integral equatio
n formulation for the coupling of bodies of revolution (BORs) to non-B
OR geometries for the design of practical microstrip-slot-aperture-cou
pled dielectric resonator antennas is presented, The moment method mat
rix fill time and memory requirements are significantly reduced by uti
lizing Fourier mode basis functions on the BOR together with the spect
ral domain Green's function for the printed circuit board, Two practic
al antennas are designed and fabricated, Antenna input impedances pred
icted by this technique are in good agreement with those of the actual
devices. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
