  • Abstract
    This paper shows the finite difference time domain method (FDTD) applied to analysis of wire antennas on a ground plane. The approach was validated with construction and tests of a monopole Yagi-Uda antenna above a finite conductor plane whose feeder was folded. The theoretical and measured results, for 820 to 850 MHz, show the validation of the approach.
