They describe problems which are ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. This difficulty becomes apparent after some implementation specific degree of problem complexity is reached. It is demonstrated that for electromagnetic field eigenvalue problems the consequence is a failure to detect any solution, except eventually spurious solutions if an inadequate discretization procedure is employed. It is concluded that integral equation formulations with compact operators must be accompanied by regularization conditions to yield a complete problem specification. Theoretical results are illustrated by numerical details from full-wave boundary integral equation analysis of a coplanar waveguide with conductors of finite thickness and finite conductivity.","PeriodicalId":440371,"journal":{"name":"1994 24th European Microwave Conference","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121487985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The behaviour of the multireflector antenna is determined by means of a transference function that relates the plane wave spectrum of an incident signal on this antenna to the plane wave spectrum reflected by the structure.

The paper allows us to generalize the identification of every reflecting object through a transference function that relates the incident spectrum to the reflected one.

As examples, two design of a six dipole linear array is presented. The first is a passive one showing a gain of 16 dB.
