Abstract :
The full wave design of an active integrated antenna using the extended FDTD method is presented. An active circulator using three gain blocks and a short circuited quarter wavelength patch are combined to form a transceiver. The effects of parasitic coupling are identified, and the isolation between transmit-receive is predicted
