Abstract
Simple approximate formulas for the input resistance, bandwidth, and radiation efficiency of a resonant rectangular microstrip patch are derived. These formulas become increasingly accurate as the substrate thickness decreases. Because the formulas are derived from approximations of a rigorous Sommerfeld solution, they provide insight into the effect of the substrate parameters on the patch properties, in addition to providing approximate design equations
