  • Abstract
    An analysis is presented for three related shapes of microstrip antenna elements: the annular; annular sector; and circular sector. The method of analysis involves the full expansion of resonant modes within the cavity formed by the radiating patch and the ground plane. Experimental results for representative radiators are also included for comparison.
