  • Abstract
    The paper presents an application of the conformal finite difference time domain (CFDTD) method to model a conformal patch antenna mounted on a coated PEC cylinder. A conformal technique and non-uniform mesh are used to model the entire antenna configuration including the PEC cylinder, the thin dielectric layer and the patch antenna, as opposed to a hybrid approach, which is sometimes used to solve this type of problem
