Space-Domain Method of Moments Solution for a Strip on a Dielectric Slab

I. Tekin and E. H. Newman, Fellow, IEEE

Page 1346.

Abstract:

This paper presents a space-domain method of moments (MoM) solution to the problem of a strip dipole on a dielectric slab. The solution involves the use of a special junction basis function which models the nearly singular polarization currents in the vicinity of the strip/dielectric junction.
