Generalized transmission‐line model for cylindrical‐rectangular microstrip antennas

摘要

AbstractAn analysis using a generalized transmission‐line model (GTLM)for a probe‐fed cylindrical‐rectangular microstrip antenna is presented. The equivalent circuit elements for the microstrip antenna modeled as a transmission line loaded with wall admittances are derived, and the expression for the input impedance is given. Numerical results of the input impedance are calculated and presented as a function of the cylinder radius and the substrate thickness. Excellent agreement of the GTLM solutions with the experimental results is observed. © 1994 John WileySon
