Cad Model to Compute the Input Impedance of an Equilateral Triangular Microstrip Patch Antenna with Radome
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 12, 247-257, 2010
Abstract
A very simple and more efficient CAD model is proposed to demonstrate the effect on input impedance characteristics based on cavity model analysis for wide range of variations of superstrate parameters and feed locations of an equilateral triangular microstrip patch antenna having different side lengths. The computed values are compared with different theoretical and experimental values available in open literature, showing close agreement. A Maxwell's equation solver is also used to validate our model.
