Notes:
Three numerical methods are applied to the analysis of a rectangular waveguide-fed aperture radiating into a lossy media. A novel approach, the finite element method with an impedance boundary condition, and two established methods, the moment method and the mode-matching method, are presented. The methods are compared with respect to accuracy, execution time, memory requirement, and versatility. Four aperture geometries are chosen for detailed study: the full aperture of the rectangular waveguide, and three reduced apertures. The reflection coefficient of the aperture in contact with five known dielectrics is calculated in the frequency range 8·5-11·5 GHz. The theoretical results are validated by measurements performed on an HP8510 network analyser.
