Analytical Evaluation of the Asymptotic Impedance Matrix of a Grounded Dielectric Slab with Roof-Top Functions

Seong-Ook Park, Constantine A. Balanis, Fellow, IEEE, and Craig R. Birtcher

Page 251.

Abstract:

In this paper, an analytical technique is derived to solve the asymptotic part of impedance matrix elements for printed circuit structures using roof-top subdomain expansions. The key to this problem is the analytical transformation from an infinite double integral to a suitable finite one-dimensional (1-D) integral. The newly developed formula is applied to the monostatic radar cross section (RCS) of a microstrip patch. Comparisons are made with measurements and conventional method of moments predictions.
