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...

Pulsed EM Field Scattering From a Narrow Superconducting Strip: A Solution Based on the Marching-On-In-Time Cagniard-DeHoop Method

Pulsed electromagnetic (EM) scattering from a relatively narrow superconducting strip is analyzed with the aid of the EM reciprocity theorem and the Cagniard-DeHoop (CdH) technique. The analysis yields a stable convolution-type equation that is solved using the marching-on-in-time (MOT) technique for coefficients representing the time-domain (TD...
