Abstract :
In the full wave analysis of printed antennas, the magnetic-wall cavity modes are conveniently employed as basis functions in connection with the spectral-domain version of the method of moments. Often only TM modes are considered. We investigate the effect of the exclusion of TE modes for a general structure, and give numerical results for annular patches, especially relevant in this context.
