The multiport network model (MNM) has been used for analyzing a semicircula
r microstrip antenna (SCMSA) with a new method of determining the effective
dielectric constant and loading the radiation resistance around the periph
ery to account for the radiation. The results obtained using this model for
the fundamental and higher order modes of an SCMSA are in good agreement w
ith the experimental results. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
