Abstrakt: An essential characteristic for the accurate simulation of wideband antenna systems is the modeling of their intricate geometrical details, including the feeding ports. In this article, we describe a leap-frog (LF) discontinuous Galerkin (DG) time-domain (TD) method combined with an efficient local time-stepping (LTS) strategy to deal with the high contrast in the element sizes for the electromagnetic modeling of these kinds of structures. The traditional delta-gap source model and a realistic coaxial port model are revisited. Numerical examples are presented and validated with measurements and commercial software simulations to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
