Abstract :
The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used to analyse and optimize the broadband characteristics of an electromagnetically coupled microstrip antenna using a short tuning stub in the microstrip feedline as the optimizing device. Frequency domain parameters are calculated over the entire frequency of interest and extended to fast Fourier transforms. The electromagnetically coupled microstrip antenna is treated using the FDTD method
