Abstract :
The authors deal with the application of two different absorbing boundary conditions on a radiating microstrip antenna simulation using the TLM method. A comparative study concerning the respective efficiency of matched terminations and Higdon´s conditions is made. For this, we have computed the radiation pattern and the input impedance. The authors have compared these results with those of other authors
