A. Alaeddine et al., RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A MICROSTRIP TRAVELING-WAVE ANTENNA - POWER BALANCE, Microwave and optical technology letters, 6(12), 1993, pp. 694-697
The radiation behavior of a microstrip traveling-wave antenna is theor
etically analyzed using a time-domain method based on the FDTD. The ti
me evolution of the fields and currents computed by the FDTD can be gi
ven in the frequency domain on a large bandwidth using Fourier transfo
rms. Then it is possible to deduce classical parameters as the radiate
d field, the gain, and the power delivered by the antenna. (C) 1993 Jo
