%  Note: This file is a part of the "Dielectric resonator design and 
%        analysis utility" (DRA.m). It is used by aRing_fr, dRing_fr, 
%        aRing_en, and dRing_en to generate a 9th order polynomial to
%        estimate the Q-factor of the TM01d mode of a ring resonator. The 
%        coefficients in matrix 'c' are taken from the book "Dielectric 
%        resonator antenna handbook" by Aldo Petosa. Unfortunately, this 
%        book only gives the coefficients for b/a ratios of 0, 0.25, 0.5, 
%        and 0.75. To address this issue, coeffQTM uses a third degree 
%        curve fitting technique to extrapolate the coefficients for any 
%        value of b/a and generates the corresponding 9th degree 
%        polynomial.

%  Note : Ce fichier fait partie de l'Outil de conception et d'analyse 
%         des rsonateurs dilectriques (DRA.m). Il est utilis par
%         aRing_fr, dRing_fr, aRing_en et dRing_en pour gnrer un polynme
%         de degr 9 permettant d'estimer le facteur Q du mode TM01d d'un
%         rsonateur annulaire. Les coefficients dans la matrice 'c' 
%         proviennent du livre "Dielectric resonator antenna handbook" de
%         Also Petosa. Malheureusement, ce livre ne donne que les
%         coefficients pour des ratios de 0, 0.25, 0.5 et 0.75. CoeffQTM
%         utilise donc une estimation de troisime ordre pour extrapoler
%         les coefficients pour n'importe quelle valeur de b/a et gnre le
%         polynme de 9e degr correspondant.
