[SOLVED] Microstrip patch antenna (Dennise Sullivan) - C or matlab code

[fogrin]

Hi

I am wondering if anyone managed to recreate/modify a code of the microstrip patch antenna described in the book by Dennise Sullivan (chapter 5, Fd3d_patch.c). I know that some codes exist, but I am not clear if anyone has actually managed to reproduce the results shown in the book.

Advise or comment would be very much appreciated.

Feodor.

This appears to have already been discussed in

Actually, the guy's real name is Denis M. Sullivan and the book is "Electromagnetic Simulation Using the FDTD Method" - next time please give some more information, but you got me interested enough to find all that out myself.

Thank you roxxon

I have seen this thread, and in fact I have tried the code suggested there, but the output produced does not match the example given in the book. I compared the codes and I cannot find any big difference (apart from the added missing bits), so a bit confused whether there was any conclusion made about the general validity of the code.

If you are familiar with the problem I would be very happy to hear any further suggestions

with best regards
Feodor.
