Abstract
The far field radiation from a microstrip antenna is investigated numerically. Such an antenna has several electrical and geometrical parameters that can be used in shaping its radiation patterns. Among these the ground plane size and shape have the least effect on the antenna circuit parameters and may be used as the controlling parameters. A few representative antenna configurations are selected and their corresponding computed radiation patterns are presented and discussed
