Abstract :
A wire loop sandwiched between a grounded dielectric substrate and a dielectric superstrate is analysed using an efficient method of moments technique, which uses a single integration to compute the impedance matrix elements. Resonance shifts are evaluated for some typical dielectric covers, and the effect of superstrate thickness is assessed.
