Asymmetrically Fed Electric Microstrip Dipole Antenna.
Abstract
A theoretical and experimental study has been made on several different types of microstrip antennas. A general theory for this family of microstrip antennas has been formulated and a report is planned to be published soon. This report applies the results of the above study to a specific type of microstrip antenna, namely, the 'asymmetrically fed electric microstrip dipole.' Design equations that are sufficiently accurate to specify the important design properties of the asymmetrically fed electric microstrip dipole antenna are also included. These design properties are the input impedance, the gain, the bandwidth, the efficiency, the polarization, the radiation pattern, and the antenna element dimension as a function of frequency. Except for the H-plane radiation pattern plot, the calculated results are in good agreement with the test results. The discrepancy in the H-plane plot is due mostly to ground plane effects and these effects were not included in the equations.
