  • Abstract
    A finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm for radiating antennas that involve multiple, phased excitation sources is presented. The algorithm has the potential to analyse phased array antennas in the time domain. The authors apply it to a two-element microstrip antenna (MSA) phased array on a finite substrate, and compare the results as gained with an existing method and experiments.
