Abstract :
In this paper, we present the equivalent electrical circuit model of a patch, based on calculations made with the finite difference time domain (FDTD). We discuss a model for two end coupled rectangular microstrip antennas with taking into account the mutual coupling effects between them. After outlining the theory, we examine some computer-generated results for a specific geometry in the aim to propose a CAD model.
