The feed model is very important for microstrip antenna analysis using FDTD. In this paper, the feed model with coaxial probe is accurately and efficiently analysed in terms of the contour path technique, driving out the magnetic field modified equations and accomplishing the FDTD procedure. Finally, the characteristic parameters of a cylindrical patch antenna are predicted. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
