Numerical computation of 2D Sommerfeld integrals - decomposition of the angular integral (Q1184615): Difference between revisions

The authors present a method which involves finding a new way to compute the inner angular integral in the polar representation of two-dimensional Sommerfeld integrals. They prove that the angular integral can be decomposed into a finite number of incomplete Lipschitz-Hankel integrals which can be calculated using series expansions. The authors show that this technique is more efficient when piecewise-sinuisoidal basis functions are used to analyze a printed strip dipole antenna in a layered medium.
