Abstract :
The multiresolution time-domain (MRTD) scheme with perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundaries is applied to the analysis of a membrane patch antenna. The results are compared to those obtained by use of the conventional FDTD technique and substantial reductions in memory requirements are observed.
