Analysis of an Aperture Coupled Microstrip Antenna.

Abstract

A new feed configuration for microstrip antennas is analyzed. The antenna consists of a single rectangular microstrip patch coupled through a rectanular aperture to a microstrip line on a separate substrate. The report describes the theory which uses a moment method analysis to calculate the antenna's input impedance. The analysis was verified by comparison with measurements of patch antennas on a low-dielectric-constant substrate (2.54) and the Feed line on high-dielectric-constant (10.2) substrate. (Author)
