K. Guney, CLOSED-FORM EXPRESSION FOR RADIATION-RESISTANCE OF A RESONANT RECTANGULAR MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA, International journal of microwave and millimeter-wave computer-aided engineering, 5(1), 1995, pp. 31-39
A new, very simple curve-fitted expression is presented for the radiat
ion resistance of resonant rectangular microstrip antennas. It is deri
ved from numerical results available in the literature, and is useful
for the computer-aided design (CAD) of microstrip antennas. This expre
ssion can be used for a wide range of substrate thicknesses and permit
tivities. The results obtained by using this expression are in conform
ity with those reported elsewhere. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
