Abstract :
A rigorous and complete analysis of the electromagnetically coupled transverse microstrip dipole is presented. This new feeding process offers an alternative solution, which is especially interesting when it is necessary to excite several dipoles from the same line. The theoretical results are compared to experimental measurements in X-band for the input impedance and the radiation patterns (co- and crosspolarisation).
