Title

Dyadic green's function for a microstrip antenna with the patch and the ground plane of the same size

Abstract

In the recent past, several advances have been made in the development of the next generation personal communication systems. Microstrip antennas with finite ground planes play an important part in these systems. In order to analyze these antennas a new dyadic Green's function for an ungrounded dielectric slab was derived and was used to study a microstrip antenna with the patch and the ground plane of the same size. The dyadic Green's function is used to solve the integral equation derived using the re- action theory. Taking into account the coupling between the patch and the ground plane the current distributions on the patch and the ground plane are determined simultaneously. The radiation patterns of the antenna are determined from these current distributions using the method of moments. A comparison with experimental radiation patterns is presented and the results are in good agreement. © Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications. All rights reserved.
