A new wave concept iterative method in cylindrical coordinates for modeling of circular planar circuits

The purpose of this paper is the formulation of a Wave Concept Iterative Process (WCIP) for the analysis of the microwave planar circuits printed between two dielectric mediums in a cylindrical metallic box. This method is based on the transverse wave formulation. It also uses the Hankel Transform to express the integral relation in a spectral domain. An example of annular ring and circular patch loaded by annular ring has been studied and the obtained results validate the new approach. The good agreement between the simulation results and the experimental published data justifies the design procedure and validates the present analysis approach.
