Abstract :
A fast technique that combines the method of asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) and the hybrid finite-element boundary-integral (FE-BI) method is introduced for the analysis of cavity-backed microstrip patch antennas residing on a dispersive substrate. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the technique
