FDTD patch antenna Dennis M. Sullivan

fdtd patch antenna code

i have tried to re simulate the code given in "Electromangetic simulation using FDTD method". Chapter 5, Fd3d_patch.c

Unfortunately the from the source code did not compile "file pointer handling". Can somebody please help me to fix the problem in the attached C file.

Thanks

Hi,

if you still need help on this problem, pls mail me at jithesh_lrde@rediffmail.com or jithesh.lrde@gmail.com.
I fixed the problems, but I could not upload the file due to some problems.
The code is now in working condition.

The major problems were:
1. due to some memory limitation, the C Pre-processor could not assign memory to the 3D arrays. If you declare the arrays directly like dx[62][120][14] instead of dx[IE][JE][KE}, this will be solved.
2. In most of the places, insted of '1' (digit), you typed l (alphabet). In printed material (e.g., Sullivan's Text Book), both may look alike.
3. You have used coefficient arrays fi1, fi2, fi3 etc, without initializing. So by default they will be filled with zeros. In the source/field update equations, these coefficient arays will make the entire expression zero so that you will always get zero only.

Hi

There was a minor mistake in the code, which I uploaded.
In the FDTD_PatchAntenna.c file, change the statement:

int IE = 30;

to

int IE = 62;

Sorry for the error.
