A numerically efficient technique for the analysis of slots in multilayer media

A numerically efficient technique for the analysis of slot geometries in multilayer media is presented using closed-form Green's functions in spatial domain in conjunction with the method of moments (MoM). The slot is represented by an equivalent magnetic-current distribution, which is then used to determine the total power crossing through the slot and the input impedance. In order to calculate power and current distribution, spatial-domain closed-form Green's functions are expanded as power series of the radial distance /spl rho/, which makes the analytical evaluation of the spatial-domain integrals possible, saving a considerable amount of computation time.
