A survey of microstrip antenna elements is presented, with emphasis on theoretical and practical design techniques. Available substrate materials are reviewed along with the relation between dielectric constant tolerance and resonant frequency of microstrip patches. Several theoretical analysis techniques are summarized, including transmission-line and modal-expansion (cavity) techniques as well as numerical methods such as the method of moments and finite-element techniques. Practical procedures are given for both standard rectangular and circular patches, as well as variations on those designs including circularly polarized microstrip patches. The quality, bandwidth, and efficiency factors of typical patch designs are discussed. Microstrip dipole and conformal antennas are summarized. Finally, critical needs for further research and development for this antenna are identified.read more

Microstrip antenna aperture-coupled to a microstripline
TL;DR: A new technique for feeding printed antennas is described in this paper, where a microstrip antenna on one substrate is coupled to a microstripline feed on another parallel substrate through an aperture in the ground plane which separates the two substrates.

Input impedance and mutual coupling of rectangular microstrip antennas
TL;DR: In this paper, a moment method solution to the problem of input impedance and mutual coupling of rectangular microstrip antenna elements is presented, which uses the grounded dielectric slab Green's function to account rigorously for the presence of the substrate and surface waves.
