  • Abstract
    The current distribution on microstrip stub antennas is calculated with the appropriate Green´s functions via an integral equation, which is solved with the moment method. As expansion functions for the current cubic spline functions are used. The calculated data are used for the design of a microstrip array with Chebyshev characteristics.
