Default Impedance of a printed circuit board antenna?

Hi there,

I am currently working on a project which leads to simulate EMC Field
coupling to printed circuits. The Field couples into the circuitry
through (unwanted) loops and di/monopoles.
I started with modeling a simple loop and a stub. I experienced no
problems for the loop, but the stub is driving me crazy:
In order to calculate the output voltage of a PCB antenna for a given
geometry and EM-Field at a desired frequency, I need to know the
output impedance for this antenna. I didn't find anything on the web
on calculating/extracting it.
This brings up the question, wether it is possible or not? If yes, how
can i perform the calculation? Do you have any suggestions? If I am am
totally wrong, please feel free to correct me.

Thanks in Advance
