Abstract

The simulation of the U-slot patch using finite difference time domain (FDTD) algorithm solves Maxwell's time-dependent curl equation by first filling up the computation space by a number of Yee cells. The relative spatial arrangements of the E fields and the H fields on the Yee cell enables the conversion of Maxwell's equations into finite-difference equations. These equations are then solved in a time matching sequence by alternatively calculating the electric and magnetic fields in an interlaced spatial field. The U-slot rectangular patch antenna provides impedance and gain bandwidths of about 30% without the need of stacked or coplanar parasitic elements.
