Accurate CAD formulation for rectangular microstrip patch antennas

03 Jul 2005-pp 122-125
TL;DR: In this article, a new CAD formulation is proposed to estimate accurately the resonant frequency of rectangular microstrip patches having variable aspect ratios, which shows much closer approximations when compared with the measurements.
Abstract: A new CAD formulation is proposed to estimate accurately the resonant frequency of rectangular microstrip patches having variable aspect ratios. The computed results are verified by several experiments. Compared to earlier ones, the proposed formula shows much closer approximations when compared with the measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electromagnetic properties of rectangular microstrip antennas were investigated experimentally, and the bandwidth was calculated as a function of electrical thickness and the antenna radiation patterns were measured.
Abstract: The electromagnetic properties of electrically thick rectangular microstrip antennas were investigated experimentally. Antennas were fabricated with different patch sizes and with electrical thicknesses ranging from 0.03 to 0.23 wavelengths in the dielectric substrate. The resonant frequencies were measured and compared to existing formulas. The bandwidth was calculated as a function of electrical thickness and the antenna radiation patterns were measured.

TL;DR: In this paper, a microstrip antenna on a micromachined 635-/spl mu/m thick substrate was used to synthesize a localized low dielectric-constant environment.
Abstract: Micromachining techniques using closely spaced holes have been used underneath a microstrip antenna on a high dielectric-constant substrate (/spl epsiv//sub r/=10.8) to synthesize a localized low dielectric-constant environment (/spl epsiv//sub r/=2.3). The measured radiation efficiency of a microstrip antenna on a micromachined 635-/spl mu/m thick /spl epsiv//sub r/=10.8 Duroid 6010 substrate increased from 48/spl plusmn/3% to 73/spl plusmn/3% at 12.8-13.0 GHz (including 3.3-cm feed line losses). We believe that this technique can be applied to millimeter-wave antennas (microstrip, dipoles, slots, etc.) on silicon and GaAs substrates to result in relatively wideband (3-6%) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) active antenna modules for phased-arrays and collision-avoidance systems.

TL;DR: In this article, an improved analytical model is presented for calculating the resonant frequency of circular microstrip antennas with and without air gaps, which is widely applicable to all patch diameters-from very large to very small compared to the height of the dielectric medium below the patch.
Abstract: An improved analytical model is presented for calculating the resonant frequency of circular microstrip antennas with and without air gaps. Unlike the previous models, the present one is widely applicable to all patch diameters-from very large to very small compared to the height of the dielectric medium below the patch and also to the substrates covering the entire range of dielectric constants. The computed results for different antenna dimensions and modes of resonance are compared with the experimental values.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of graphs for a relevant set of parameters is presented which enables the designer to clearly see the tradeoffs involved in choosing specific parameters for the antenna and several parameters that are deterrents to the proper functioning of the antennas are also identified.
Abstract: The effective design and analysis of microstrip antennas presupposes the quantitative knowledge of the effects of the physical and mechanical properties of the patch, the ground plane, and the substrate material on electromagnetic properties of the antenna. The behavior of antenna electromagnetic properties for varying mechanical and physical properties of the patch, the ground plane, and the substrate material is presented. A set of graphs for a relevant set of parameters is presented which enables the designer to clearly see the tradeoffs involved in choosing specific parameters for the antenna. Several parameters that are deterrents to the proper functioning of the antennas are also identified. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 19: 111–121, 1998.
