Contents

The geometrical optics model for a triangular 45°/45°/90° patch antenna is presented. The antenna is fed by a current probe, and the input impedance of the antenna is found by the emf method. Numerical as well as experimental results show the validity of the model.

Übersicht

Für das Modell einer dreieckförmigen (45°/45°/90°) Mikrostripantenne mit Speisung über eine Stromsonde wird die Eingangsimpedanz der Antenne nach der EMK-Methode berechnet. Numerische und experimentelle Ergebnisse bestätigen die Brauchbarkeit des Modells.
