Abstract :
In this paper, a time domain 3D-TLM algorithm has been applied to analyze a microstrip patch antenna. A proper treatment of absorbing boundaries is presented for accurate analysis of radiating structures. The results obtained for a rectangular patch microstrip antenna compare well with available data.
