    The validity of numerical design scheme of CP-PASS (Circularly Polarized Printed Array antenna composed of Strips and Slots) is considered. The strip element of CP-PASS is composed of a strip dipole and a window which increases the frequency bandwidth of the strip element. With the window, however, analysis of the antenna becomes difficult if a simple analytical model is used. The previous design procedure requierd an experimental procedure. By using modern computers, the FDTD (finite-difference time-domain) method becomes powerful tool for the analysis of 3D-structured antennas. In this paper, numerical results of the FDTD analysis for CP-PASS is compared with results from experiments. The characteristics of the unit-radiator of CP-PASS are demonstrated numerically. This paper shows that CP-PASS can be designed numerically and a new path has opened in the study of CP-PASS.
