Recent Improvements to the Electromagnetic Surface Patch Code

Abstract

This report describes two improvements to the 'Electromagnetic Surface Patch' or ESP code. ESP is a user oriented computer code, based upon the method of moments (MM), for the analysis of thin wires and polygonal plates. The two improvements to ESP are: (1) The ability to compute near zone fields and (2) the ability to analyze thin dielectric plates through the use of a sheet impedance approximation. This report will describe these two modifications and present numerical data validating the accuracy of the code.
