Abstract :
The authors present a new approach for the Q-factor computation of radiation loss in a circular patch with surface wave TM0. The circular patch resonant frequency (f) problem is formulated in terms of an integral equation using the transverse resonance method. First, the computed real part of f is found to compare closely with the published results considering space wave TM11. Next, the Q-factor of the surface wave as a function of physical resonator parameters is presented
