Abstract :
A three-dimensional (3-D) asymmetrical functional is developed and implemented as a hybrid-vector edge-element method. The equivalent frequency-dependent circuit parameters are then extracted from the field solutions. Laboratory measurements and data comparison with previous published results strongly support the newly developed theoretical work
