We will put the emphasis on the analysis of arbitrarily shaped microstrip antennas. The most general and rigorous treatment of microstrip antennas is given by the electric field integral equation(EFIE), usally formulated in the spectral domain. In this paper, we use a modification of EFIE, called the mixed potential integral equation(MPIE) , and we solve it in the space domain. This technique uses Green's functions associated with the scalar and vector potential which are calculated by using stratified media theory and are expressed as Sommerfeld integrals. The integral equation is solved by a moment's method using rooftop subsectional basis function. Thus, microstrip patches of any shape can be analysed at any frequency and for any substrate. Numerical results for a rectangular patch and for a L-shaped patch are given and compared with measured values.

A 23GHz 2-stage LNA was designed using MPIE numerical analysis and microwave CAD EEsof softwares. The basic circuit was designed by EEsof tools but analyzed more precisely using numerical MPIE tools and modified. The matching sections of the input and output terminals were designed with paralledl coupled filter-type lines, these matching sections perform impedance matching and DC blocking, more over have the advantages of small discontinuities and small errors in the design process. The FET chip is directly attached to the ground metal. The designed LNA gives 15.2dB gain and 2.7dB noise figure. without considering 1.8dB loss of connectors. These results validate our design process and matching schemes and fabrication technologies over the 20GHz frequency range.

An analysis method for obtaining transient response of electromagnetic pulse(EMP) coupled via a slot aperture into a parallel-plate waveguide, is considered. The mixed-potential integral equation(MPIE), in which the vector and scalar potential Green's functions for the unknown equivalent magnetic surface current of the aperture in parallel-plate region are expressed in closed forms derived by use of the improved complex image method, is formulated. When the method of moments(MoM) is used to solve the MPIE, the matrix-fill time is significantly reduced because of closed-form Green's functions. In order to check the validity of the present method, the numerical results obtained by the present method are compared with those obtained by the previous method. Fairly good agreements between them are observed.

By using accurate closed-form Green's functions obtained from real-axis integration method, the full-wave analysis of CPW discontinuities are performed in space domain. In solving MPIE(Mixed Potential Integral Equation), Galerkin's scheme is employed with the linear basis functions on the triangular elements in air-dielectric boundary. In the singular integral arising when the observation point and source point coincides, the surface integral is transformed into the line integral and the integral is evaluated by regular integration. By using the Green's function from the real-axis integration method, the discontinuities are characterized accurately.

In this paper, a 23 GHz push-push oscillator was designed and fabricated for 23 GHz point-to-point communication using split ring resonator. The split ring resonator was equivalent circuit and numerical method of MPIE(Mixed Potential Integral Equation).

In this paper, we present a fast analysis of multilayer microstrip fractal structure by using the fast multipole method (FMM). In the analysis, accurate spatial green's functions from the real-axis integration method(RAIM) are employed to solve the mixed potential integral equation(MPIE) with FMM algorithm. MoM's iteration and memory requirement is $O(N^2)$ in case of calculation using the green function. the problem is the unknown number N can be extremely large for calculation of large scale objects and high accuracy. To improve these problem is fast algorithm FMM. FMM use the addition theorem of green function. So, it reduce the complexity of a matrix-vector multiplication and reduce the cost of calculation to the order of $O(N^{1.5})$, The efficiency is proved from comparing calculation results of the moment method and Fast algorithm.

The problem of electromagnetic coupling into a thin conducting wire through a slot in an infinite conducting is analyzed by use of MPIE(mixed potential integral equation) and two- dimensional moment method using subsectional(rooftop) basis functions. The equivalent circuit is derived using a center-repesentation method which is valid in a narrow slot case. The equi- valent magnetic currents on the slot and the induced currents on the wire are caculated respec- tively, for the TM wave is incident upon the slot with arbitrary angle of incidence. The theoretical transmission coefficients of transmission line which is composed of thin-wire and infinite conducting plate with a narrow slot are compared and found to be in good agreement with experimental results.
