Abstract

This paper describes an algorithm and FORTRAN subroutine GIDMULT for calculating the spectral domain Green´s functions of coaxial cylindrical multilayer structures with any number of layers. The subroutine has been applied to analyze microstrip patch antennas on such structures and to study scattering from strip-loaded and corrugated cylinders. These examples are summarized. Different versions of GIDMULT exist for planar and cylindrical structures, and they have been extensively tested against results published by others.
