The new representations are obtained by first rewriting the corresponding spectral domain Green's function representations in a different form (so that accurate results for electrically large cylinders, and along the axial line of a cylinder can be obtained). Then, the summation over the cylindrical eigenmodes is calculated efficiently. Finally, the resulting expressions are transformed to the spatial domain using a modified two-level generalized pencil of function method. Numerical results are presented showing good agreement when compared to CST Microwave Studio results.EnglishAperture antennasGeneralized pencil of function (GPOF) methodMutual couplingAperture antennasCST microwave studioCylindrical eigenmodesDielectric layerElectrically largeGeneralized pencil-of-function methodsMagnetic current sourcesSpatial domainsSpectral domainsAntennasDifferential equationsClosed-form green's function representations for mutual coupling calculations between apertures on a perfect electric conductor circular cylinder covered with dielectric layersArticle10.1109/TAP.2011.2158787
