Microstrip Antenna Questions and Answers – Numerical Tool for Antenna Analysis

This set of Advanced Microstrip Antenna Questions and Answers focuses on “Numerical Tool for Antenna Analysis”.

1. Which of the following is not a technique to analyze the Microstrip antenna?
a) FEM
b) MoM
c) FDTD
d) PID
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: FEM, MoM, FDTD are techniques used to know the Microstrip antenna performance. PI, PD, PID are control system mechanisms. MoM (Method of moments) is used to solve the mixed potential integrated equations obtained from the electromagnetic properties.

2. Which of the following is used to solve the mixed potential integrated equations?
a) MoM
b) FEM
c) FDTD
d) Jordan’s method
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: MoM (Method of moments) is used to solve the mixed potential integrated equations obtained from the electromagnetic properties. FEM (Finite Element method) and FDTD (finite difference time domain) solve the partial differential equations.

3. Which of the following technique in Microstrip antennas is used to solve the partial differential equations?
a) MoM but not FEM
b) FEM and MoM
c) FDTD and MoM
d) FEM and FDTD
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: FEM (Finite Element method) and FDTF (finite difference time domain) techniques are used in the Microstrip antenna to solve the partial differential equations. MoM (Method of moments) is used to solve the mixed potential integrated equations obtained from the electromagnetic properties.

6. In FEM, the region of interest is divided into a number of finite layers elements to analyze it
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: FEM (Finite Element method) and FDTF (finite difference time domain) solve the partial differential equations. HFSS is a commercial FEM solver for the electromagnetic structure of the antenna. Those finite layers can be rectangles or triangles. FEM is used for complex structural elements also.
