Abstract :
The paper presents a quasi-TEM equivalent circuit model for two optically driven coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed slot antennas. This model takes into account both the electromagnetic fields in the CPW structure as well as the effects of the discontinuities of the antenna design. The results are compared with simulations taken from IE3d using the method of moments.
