EFIE-MFIE hybrid simulation using NEC:VSWR for the WISP experiment

The use of the numerical electromagnetics code for modeling wires and wire grids (EFIE) has been reviewed recently. This work is an extension of the work of C.A. Balanis that utilizes a patch model, and computes input impedance (as VSWR) using NEC. The work presented here is a simulation and measurement study for the proposed NASA waves in space plasma (WISP) experiment. Some modeling guidelines for patch models are discussed.<
