Abstract :
An efficient technique based on the extension of the Banded Matrix Iterative Approach (BMIA) to a non-canonical grid by using the Adaptive Integral Method (AIM) is presented for the analysis of stacked patch antennas of large dimensions. The patches can have arbitrary shape and orientation and are modeled by means of triangular elements.
