Abstract :
The rectangular-patch antenna and the transformer quarter-wavelength for antenna matching are presented in this work using the full wave model of the Transverse Transmission Line-TTL. This method provides an accuracy result for the patch parameters and is rigorous. It is an efficient method when used with lossy semiconductor or lossless dielectric substrates
