Rigorous iterative full‐wave method for the analysis of multi‐band arbitrary U‐shaped antennas

Abstract

In this letter, the performance of iterative method based on the concept of incident and reflected waves has been used for the scattering coefficients determination. For this purpose, different multiband microstrip patch antennas with U‐shaped slots, which exist in the literature; have been presented and simulated. The WCIP obtained results are successfully compared with analytical references, commercially available package CST software and the measurement result. Discussions are supported by the different results of the analyses cases. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 58:2358–2364, 2016
