Efficient evaluation of antenna fields by a time-domain multipole analysis

The contribution describes a systematic method to efficiently determine frequency-domain electromagnetic antenna fields and characteristics for a broad spectrum via a single time-domain (e.g., Finite-Difference Time-Domain, FDTD) calculation. From a time-domain simulation of an antenna driven by a w...
