Abstract

The goal of this article is threefold: to present the basic principles of the application of method of moments (MoM), finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and finite-element method (FEM) to analysis of antennas; to present examples of antenna simulations that show the capabilities of some modern commercially available simulators; to discuss future trends in modeling and analysis of microwave and millimeter-wave antennas for wireless communications.
