Rigorous computer-aided design of coaxial/circular antennas with semi-spherical dielectric layers

We present a new rigorous formulation for studying antennas made by a central circular waveguide, and a coaxial line; the circular waveguide being the inner part of the coaxial line. The antenna may be covered with spherically stratified dielectric layers for improving radiative properties.
