Abstract :
A rigorous calculation of the magnetic current distribution and the radiated field for slot antennas in uniplanar technology is presented. The analysis is based on use of the integral equations technique associated with a 2D method of moments. The calculated results are compared to the experimental ones. A precision of 1% for the return loss and a good agreement for radiation patterns are obtained.
