Abstract
Aperture coupling is investigated as a feed mechanism for microstrip antenna elements. Using modal field expansion, and assuming that coupling is via a magnetic current in the aperture, calculated data on the antenna parameters are obtained. Several samples are manufactured, tested and practical design curves generated at 5.0 and 10 GHz. Good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained. These new results extend the validity of the analysis at high frequencies and will be useful for design and applications involving this type of antenna.
