Abstract :
A spatial domain mixed-potential integral equation method is developed for the analysis of microstrip discontinuities and antennas of arbitrary shape. The algorithm is based on roof-top basis functions on a rectangular and triangular mixed grid and analytical evaluation of the quadruple moment integrals involved. The algorithm has been successfully implemented into an accurate, efficient, and versatile computer program. The numerical results agree with the measured ones very well
