Abstract :
An efficient technique based on the extension of the banded matrix iterative approach (BMIA) to a BMIA not canonical grid (BMIA/nCAG) is presented for an efficient analysis of stacked patch antennas of large dimensions. The patches can have arbitrary shape and orientation and are modeled by means of triangular elements.
