Abstract

This work presents a fullwave analysis for annular ring microstrip antennas on uniaxial anisotropic substrates. The effect of the anisotropic substrates on the antenna performance at the millimeter wave band is investigated. The analysis is performed in the Hankel transform domain using Hertz vector potentials and Galerkin Method. Numerical results are presented for the antenna main characteristics such as resonant frequency and radiation pattern.
