Microstrip Patch Antenna for Microwave Communication: Microstrip Antenna Theory: Modeling and Development

In this book, method of moments based IE3D software is used to model Microstrip Patch Antenna with enhanced gain. The aim of the book is to throw light on Microstrip Patch Antenna with enhanced gain and bandwidth and study the effect of antenna dimensions Length , Width and substrate parameters relative Dielectric constantant on antenna gain and bandwidth. The results obtained provide a workable antenna design for incorporation in a satellite TV. The conducting patch can take any shape but rectangular and circular configurations are the most commonly used configuration. Other configurations are complex to analyze and require heavy numerical computations. In view of design, selection of the patch width and length are the major parameters along with the feed line depth. Due to its advantages such as low weight and volume, low fabrication costs and capability to integrate with microwave integrated circuits (MICs), the microstrip patch antenna is very well suited for applications in cellular phones, pagers, missile systems, and satellite communications systems. The results presented in the book will provide a workable antenna design for incorporation in a sattelite TV.
