Abstract
A time-domain finite-element method (TDFEM) is presented for simulating the radiation and scattering from cavity-backed microstrip patch antennas. The perfectly matched layer (PML) is utilized to efficiently truncate the TDFEM solution domain. The higher order vector basis functions are adopted to accurately represent unknown fields. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate its efficacy.
