Here a computationally efficient method of moments (MoM) formulation is presented for the full-wave analysis and design of radial line slot antennas (RLSAs). The method efficiency is based on an ad-hoc representation of the internal problem (electrically large circular cavity) Green's function, which is split into the sum of a parallel plate waveguide contribution and a rim effect contribution, expanded in terms of radial modes. The convergence rate of the proposed Green's function expansion is investigated both analytically and numerically with the aid of some examples. Furthermore, comparisons with a commercial general purpose MoM software were performed on a complete RLSA to demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of our approach.

Abstract

Here a computationally efficient method of moments (MoM) formulation is presented for the full-wave analysis and design of radial line slot antennas (RLSAs). The method efficiency is based on an ad-hoc representation of the internal problem (electrically large circular cavity) Green's function, which is split into the sum of a parallel plate waveguide contribution and a rim effect contribution, expanded in terms of radial modes. The convergence rate of the proposed Green's function expansion is investigated both analytically and numerically with the aid of some examples. Furthermore, comparisons with a commercial general purpose MoM software were performed on a complete RLSA to demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of our approach.
