Abstract :
The SEMN method was previously introduced and general formulas and derivations for the analysis of complex structures and closed-form expressions for electromagnetic fields in the source region were presented in (1997). A thick microstrip antenna with finite size substrate is analyzed by the SEMN method and its return loss and radiation patterns are calculated. It is shown that the method is a powerful tool for analyzing such structures and theoretical results are in very good agreement with measurements.
