  • Abstract
    Using enhanced finite difference time domain (FDTD) equations for diagonal metal edges, an analysis of the mutual coupling between pairs of inclined rectangular microstrip patch antennas is presented. Use of the enhanced-equation technique has led to an improvement in the accuracy of the numerical results by a factor of 4-10 without requiring additional computer time or memory
