THE NEUMANN SERIES - A TOOL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF SOME MICROSTRIP STRUCTURES

The aim of this paper is to present a general methodology for studying printed electromagnetic structures. Canonical microstrip structures c an be described by means of a system of coupled integral equations, wh ich can De easily transformed into a system of algebraic equations Dy rising the Neumann series, namely a series of Bessel functions. Carefu l numerical analysis shows that, in order to abtain a reasonable accur acy of the fields and/or potential, small matrices are necessary. Stat ic and dynamic cases are discussed.
