Abstract
Most radiation analyses of microstrip antenna are based on the assumpt ion of an infinite ground plane. Actual environments are different, an d the ground plane is necessarily limited. In this paper we show the i nfluence of the dimensions and the shape of the support. Analytical fo rmulations are explicitly given. Many comparisons between theory and e xperimentation are presented. Next, we apply the previous results to t he case of a circularly polarized antenna, in order to optimize the el lipticity ratio.
