Keywords:
LBIE, meshless, microstrip antenna, MLBE, MLPGAbstract
In this paper, different meshless methods are applied to the analysis of microstrip antennas with thin substrate. Comparison is made between the performance of the methods with respect to convergence, CPU time and condition number of final coefficient matrix. The exact modal solution and method of moments are used for validation. The input impedance results of all methods are in agreement with each other.
