In this paper, a direct three dimensional Finite-Difference Time-Domain (3D-FDTD) approach is implemented to investigate the electromagnetic behavior of a Half Hollow Cylindrical Antenna. The conformal shape of this antenna is studied using the Conformal Finite-Difference Time-Domain (CFDTD). We shall prove that a variation of the antenna shape generates an important shift of the values of the resonant frequency (about 0.467 GHz). Compared with the planar shape, the geometrical shape reduces the space occupied by the antenna of about 36.28%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
