Rigorous analysis of circular disc resonators/radiators with imperfect conductors and substrates

An analysis of circular disc resonators/radiators that have imperfect conductors and substrates is presented. This method, called a full wave analysis, is based on the Galerkin method applied in the Hankel transform domain and is numerically exact and efficient. Several numerical results, such as resonance frequencies and Q values, are provided and are compared with the results using approximate treatments.
