Analysis of Microstrip Patch Antennas on Arbitrarily[复制链接]
Abstract—A numerical procedure for the efficient analysis of microstrip antennas and feed networks embedded in multilayer structures of arbitrary shape is presented. It is based on a special variant of the discrete-mode-matching method (DMM) for non- planar structures using a general solution of the wave equation (GSDMM) [Ioffe and Dreher]. As an example, the complex reso- nant frequency of a microstrip patch antenna conformal to a non- planar dielectric surface is calculated. Different shapes are mod- eled by a suitable parameter. Some of the results are compared with those obtained with the commercial software HFSS by Ansoft.
