Technical Seminar Presentation-2004 Introduction • The microstrip antenna is a very thin metallic strip, placed a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane, separated by a dielectric. • Where size, weight, cost, performance, ease of installation, are of primary concern, microstrip antennas are the best solutions.

Technical Seminar Presentation-2004 Construction and Geometry • 2.2 < Єr < 12. Low dielectric=>better efficiency, larger B/W. • A microstrip patch antenna is a radiating patch on one side of a dielectric substrate, which has a ground plane on the underside. The EM waves fringe off the top patch into the substrate, reflecting off the ground plane and radiates out into the air.

Technical Seminar Presentation-2004 Feeding methods a) Microstrip feed Easy to fabricate, simple to match by controlling the inset position and relatively simple to model. b) Coaxial probe feed Easy to fabricate, low spurious radiation; difficult to model accurately; narrow bandwidth of impedance matching. c) Aperture coupling (no contact), microstrip feed line and radiating patch are on both sides of the ground plane, the coupling aperture is in ground plane Low spurious radiation, easy to model; difficult to match, narrow bandwidth. d) Proximity coupling (no contact), microstrip feed line and radiating patch are on the same side of the ground plane Largest bandwidth (up to 13%).
