Abstract :
Calculations of several cases for rectangular microstrip patch antennas using a more accurate cavity model have been compared with conventional cavity calculations, expressions generated by curve fitting to full wave solutions, and the method of moments. Calculated and experimental values have been studied for different thickness, patch size and substrate material with different permittivities and losses.
