TL;DR: In this article, the validity of using planar antenna patches to characterize microstrip antennas is examined, including the simplest planar patch modes having no field variation normal to the patch surface.
Abstract: Resonant frequencies f_{r} of a cylindrical-rectangular microstrip antenna are theoretically calculated. Comparison is made to f_{r} for a planar rectangular patch antenna, including the simplest planar patch modes having no field variation normal to the patch surface. The validity of using planar antenna patches to characterize microstrip antennas is examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of substrate thickness on the characteristics of a circular disk microstrip antenna is examined and experimental results explicitly showing the effect on resonant frequency, input impedance, and bandwidth are provided.
Abstract: The effect of substrate thickness on the characteristics of a circular-disk microstrip antenna is examined. In the literature this effect has been dealt with theoretically, but experimental results explicitly showing the effect of substrate thickness on resonant frequency, input impedance, and bandwidth do not seem to be readily available.

TL;DR: A modular approach is utilized in which a given antenna is used as a building block for higher gain antennas, and the results seem to validate the usefulness of the method.
Abstract: A method for the design of medium gain (15-25 dB) microstrip array antennas is described. A modular approach is utilized in which a given antenna is used as a building block for higher gain antennas. A series of X -band antennas were built in this way, and the results seem to validate the usefulness of the method.

TL;DR: In this article, a dual-mode broad band antenna with four wire radiators in the form of an inverted conical log-spiral supported in a vertically extending fashion a predetermined distance above the horizontal ground plane is described.
Abstract: A dual mode broad band antenna especially designed to provide simultaneously high and low angle radiation patterns relative to a horizontal ground plane is disclosed herein. This particular antenna utilizes four wire radiators in the form of an inverted conical log-spiral supported in a vertically extending fashion a predetermined distance above the horizontal ground plane. In order to operate the antenna in its high and low angle modes simultaneously, first and second oppositely phased AC currents are applied to the radiators in two different ways through specifically connected hybrid isolating transformers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified form of a microstrip circular patch antenna is presented by slightly depressing the patch configuration conically into the substrate, and theoretical analysis predicts the bandwidth of such an antenna to be much higher than that of an identical circle patch antenna with little change in the resonant frequency.
Abstract: A modified form of a microstrip circular patch antenna is presented by slightly depressing the patch configuration conically into the substrate. The theoretical analysis predicts the bandwidth of such an antenna to be much higher than that of an identical circular patch antenna with little change in the resonant frequency. The theoretical findings are supported by experimental observations. Theoretical and observed radiation patterns of practical antennas are also presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a dual-feed dual-frequency microstrip antenna with a VSWR of 1.33 at 2.32 GHz and 1.12 at 9.425 GHz is presented.
Abstract: A single-feed dual-frequency microstrip antenna is reported. It can be impedance-matched independently at the two frequencies of operation. The tested antenna has a VSWR of 1.33 at 2.32 GHz and 1.12 at 9.425 GHz. The configuration reported here can be impedance matched over a wider frequency range using standard impedance-matching techniques.
