A hybrid formulation is applied to a variety of problems from simple metal strip dipoles to more complicated microstrip geometries. A further development to finite array analysis is described. An improvement in the accuracy of this approximative technique is explored.68525 bytesapplication/pdfenMicrostrip antennas.Green's functions.Antennas, Dipole.Finite strip method.Integral equations.Thesis
