Abstract :
This paper applies three dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) method to analyze the microstripline-fed rectangular patch antennas while moving the microstripline along nonradiating edges. FDTD analysis is used to find the optimum match position for the microstripline-fed rectangular patch antenna
