Abstract :
The BOR/patch formulation can be applied to many types of antennas that involve a junction between these two basic elements of the structure. As an example, the cavity-backed patch antenna considered previously by the authors (1992) has such junctions. Although it was shown that accurate radiation pattern predictions for this particular antenna can be obtained without forming these junctions, they would be required in order to develop accurate input impedance models. The self-consistency technique is used to demonstrate the accuracy of the junction models.<>
