Abstract

Conventional moment method with subsectional bases and Dirac testing functions reduces the analysis of symmetric planar microwave circuits to solving a system of linear equation with block circulant coefficient matrix. A method is presented for diagcnalizing this matrix using discrete Fourier transforms (DFT). It is shown that much economy in memory space and computation time can be achieved by making use of the properties of block circulants and by implementing the DFT's using last Fourier transform (FFT) techniques.
