The analysis of two innovative coplanar waveguide-fed planar antennas,
applying a simulation tool based on the finite-difference time-domain
method (FDTD) in a nonuniformly discretized grid, is presented in thi
s paper A planar slot and inverted F-antenna are designed realized, an
d tested. The influence of the coaxial connector required for the meas
urements is also examined. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
