Abstract :
This work presents the analysis of the tapered microstrip patch antenna by the Wave Concept Iterative Procedure, WCIP. The resonant frequencies variation with the patch dimensions and how to include it as project flexibility is discussed. The behavior of the electric fields is presented and analyzed for the first two resonant frequencies. Numerical and measured results are compared and a good agreement is observed.
