A set of closed‐form Green's functions is used in a mixed‐potential integral‐equation technique for the efficient modeling of planar microstrip structures of arbitrary shape on an electrically thin substrate. Various MMIC and microstrip antenna structures are simulated. It is shown that excellent accuracy at a substantial reduction in total simulation time is achieved for a wide range of frequencies and substrate parameters. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
