Abstract :
In this paper, we suggested a method to substitute any antenna by a model based on the use of dipolar sources in the FDTD method. This approach allows to model antennas with their supports or environnement context. Thus, it makes possible to model complicated structures and oriented in any direction of space. The effectiveness of this approach is validated with Feko simulation of the original antenna.
