Resonant Frequency of Microstrip Antennas Calculated From TE-Excitation of an Infinite Strip Embedded in a Grounded Dielectric Slab.
Abstract
The calculation of currents induced by a plane wave normally incident upon an infinite strip embedded in a grounded dielectric slab is used to infer the resonant width (or frequency) of rectangular microstrip antennas. By placing the strip inside the dielectric, the effect of a dielectric cover of the same material as the substrate can be included in the calculation of resonant frequency. A comparison with measured results indicated agreement of 1 percent or better for rectangular microstrip antennas constructed on teflon-fiberglass substrate. (MM)
