Abstract :
Theoretical port impedances and radiation patterns of a linear array of dielectric resonator antenna elements are numerically computed. The technique used is based upon the surface integral equation formulation for bodies of revolution (BORs) coupled to non-BOR geometries. The method of moments (MoM) is used to obtain the equivalent surface electric and magnetic currents from which the port impedances and radiated fields are determined.
