Mixed-Potential Integral Equation Based Characteristic Mode Analysis of Microstrip Antennas

Integral Equation Analysis with Characteristic Basis Functions

Microstrip Antennas

Microstrip antennas have been one of the niost innovative topics in antenna theory and design in recent years, and are increasingly finding application in a wide range of modern microwave systems. This paper begins with a brief overview of the basic characteristics of microstrip antennas, and then concentrates on the most significant developments in microstrip antenna technology that have been ...

an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

Near Fields of Microstrip Antennas

The paper presents an iterative method for the computation of the near fields of single layer microstrip patch antennas. A judicious combination of the advantages of the MPIE (mixed potential integral equation) method, the FFT algorithm and the biconjugate gradient leads to an efficient numerical solution. The scheme can deal with patches of arbitrary shapes and is capable of dealing with a ver...

Analysis of Broadband Slot Cut Semi-Circular Microstrip Antennas

Broadband microstrip antenna is more commonly realized by cutting slot inside the patch. While designing slot cut antennas at a given frequency, slot length is taken to be either quarter wave or half wave in length. However this simpler approximation does not give closer result. In this paper, an analysis to study the effect of slot like, half U-slot and rectangular slot on the broadband respon...
