Abstract

In this work, the idea of Integral Equation Macromodels (IEMs) is applied to speed-up numerical analysis of slot-fed microstrip antennas. The microstrip antenna macromodel is constructed on the basis of surface integral equation (SIE) formulation solved with standard method-of-moments (MoM) technique, where we apply equivalence-principle domain-decomposition method (EP-DDM) combined with wideband approximation using asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE).
