Abstract :
A concurrent algorithm for the detailed analysis of an active microstrip antenna is described. The constituent pans of the algorithm are explained along with results verifying their operation. In order to demonstrate the operation of the algorithm an active antenna system is analysed and results presented showing the far-field modelling capabilities of this technique.
