Pulsed Electromagnetic Excitation of a Narrow Slot Between Two Dielectric Halfspaces

The transient electromagnetic (EM) excitation of a narrow slot in a perfectly electrically conducting (PEC) screen that separates two homogeneous dielectric halfspaces, a simplified model of a typical feeding structure of leaky lens antennas, is analyzed numerically in the time domain (TD). The problem is formulated using the TD reciprocity...

Time-Domain Analysis of Thin-Wire Structures Based on the Cagniard-DeHoop Method of Moments

Thin-wire structures in the presence or absence of a ground plane are analyzed numerically in the time domain (TD) with the aid of the Cagniard-DeHoop method of moments (CdH-MoM). It is demonstrated that the TD solution of such problems can be cast into the form of discrete time-convolution equations. Under the assumption of piecewise linear...
