Abstract :
Arbitrarily shaped, coax-fed microstrip patch antennas with thick substrates are studied using a mixed-potential integral equation approach. This incorporates a triangle-element model of the patch and a rigorous treatment of the probe-to-patch junction. Computed input impedance data are shown to agree well with measured results.
