Efficient and Accurate Computation of an Annular Slot on a Dielectric Half-Space

K. W. Leung

Page 467.

Abstract:

An efficient and accurate method of analysis for an annular slot radiating on a dielectric half-space is presented. The result involves neither singularity nor any numerical integration and, therefore, is computationally very efficient and easy to implement numerically. The method is very rigorous and general and should find applications in other related configurations.
