Analysis of finite arrays of circumferentially oriented printed dipoles on electrically large cylinders
(Wiley, 2004) Ertürk, V. B.; Güner, B.
An efficient and accurate hybrid method of moments (MoM)/Green's function technique in the spatial domain is developed for the rigorous analysis of large, finite phased arrays of circumferentially oriented printed dipoles on electrically large, dielectric-coated, circular cylinders. Basic performance metrics (in the form of array current distribution, active reflection coefficient, far-field patterns, and so forth) of several arrays have been obtained and compared with similar printed arrays on grounded planar substrates. Certain discrepancies have been observed and discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Derivation of Closed-Form Green’s Functions for a General Microstrip Geometry
(1992) Aksun, M.I.; Mittra, R.
The derivation of the closed-form spatial domain Green’s functions for the vector and scalar potentials is presented for a microstrip geometry with a substrate and a super-state, whose thicknesses can be arbitrary. The spatial domain Green’s functions for printed circuits are typically expressed as Sommerfeld integrals, that are inverse Hankel transform of the corresponding spectral domain Green’s functions, and are quite time-consuming to evaluate. Closed-form representations of these Green’s functions in the spatial domains can only be obtained if the integrands are approximated by a linear combination of functions that are analytically integrable. In this paper, we show we can accomplish this by approximating the spectral domain Green’s functions in terms of complex exponentials by using the least square Prony’s method. © 1992 IEEE

Estimation of Spurious Radiation from Microstrip Etches Using Closed-Form Green’s Functions
(IEEE, 1992) Aksun, M.I.; Mittra, R.
The problem of spurious radiation from electronic packages is considered in this paper by investigating the power radiated from microstrip etches that are excited by arbitrarily-located current sources, and terminated by complex loads at both ends. The first step in the procedure is to compute the current distribution on the microstrip line by using the method of moments (MoM). Two novel contributions of this paper are: (i) employing the recently-derived closed-form Green’s functions in the spatial domain that permit an efficient computation of the elements of the MoM matrix; (ii) incorporating complex load terminations in a convenient manner with virtually no increase in the computation time. The computed current distribution is subsequently used to calculate the spurious radiated power and the result is compared with that derived by using an approximate, transmission line analysis. © 1992 IEEE
