Circular microstrip antennas

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7107599· OSTI ID:7107599
The circular microstrip antenna is analyzed by developing the field equations within the antenna in terms of Bessel functions. When the order of the Bessel functions is 1, the antenna radiates normal to the surface on which the antenna is mounted. Equations are developed for calculation of radiation patterns, impedance, bandwidth and efficiency when the antenna is operating in this mode. Curves are provided to assist in the design of a circular microstrip antenna.
