A Generalized Solution to a Class of Printed Circuit Antennas.
Abstract
This dissertation deals with the theory and design of antennas excited by a microstrip transmission line or by a gap generator. The antennas and the strip transmission line may be embedded inside or printed on the substrate. A theoretical approach is implemented which accounts accurately for the physical effects involved including surface waves. The Green's function has been obtained by synthesizing the fields of Hertzian dipoles which are oriented in arbitrary directions and which are printed on or embedded in the substrate. The method of solution is based on solving the Pocklington integral equations by employing the method of moments with proper choice of expansion and testing functions. The excitation mechanism is taken into account effectively by considering it as part of the antenna. (Author)
