A simple and accurate approach to model the coupling of vertical and horizontal dipoles in layered media

Abstract

A simple and accurate approach to electromagnetic modeling the coupling of a vertical electric dipole (VED) and a horizontal electric dipole (HED) in layered media is presented. In this approach, the scalar potential Green's functions have been properly defined so that the desired form of the MPIE (mixed potential integral equation) can be used. The approach has been used to analyze the problem of VED and HED in a dielectric slab. The spatial Green's functions have been efficiently computed using the complex image technique. The approach developed is useful for the modeling of a wide class of printed structures that involve both VED and HED in layered media. >
