Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 55, 133-142, 2017
Abstract
Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method is widely used in the simulation of various kinds of antennas. In this paper, research on the numerical simulation of the fragment-type antenna by using FDTD is conducted. The fragment-type antenna structures with different cell sizes and different overlapping sizes are simulated and measured. The validity of the numerical simulation of the fragment-type antenna by using FDTD is verified through the comparison between the simulated and measured return losses. In addition, its efficiency in terms of computation time shows great potential in engineering applications, especially when the design matrix is large enough.
