E. Tentzeris et al., FDTD CHARACTERIZATION OF WAVE-GUIDE-PROBE STRUCTURES, IEEE transactions on microwave theory and techniques, 46(10), 1998, pp. 1452-1460
The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique is applied in the c
alculation of the S-parameters of diode mounting and waveguide-probe s
tructures. The influence of the critical geometrical design parameters
on the coupling of the coplanar feedline probe to the waveguide is in
vestigated. A waveguide absorber based on analytic Green's functions i
s used to minimize the reflections over a wide band of frequencies.
