EDGE-FED RECTANGULAR PATCH ANTENNA
 
     
 
Structure on IE3D



Parameters:

The substrate is of thickness 0.794 mm and er = 2.2. The patch is of dimensions 16 mm and 12.448 mm. The feed line width is 2.334 mm. The center of the feed line is 3.112 mm from the other edge. The reference plane is at the edge.

Simulation Result:

Other results are from: S.-C. Wu, N. G. Alexopoulos, and O. Fordham, "Feeding structure contribution to radiation by patch antennas with rectangular boundaries," IEEE Trans. Antennas Propagat., Vol. AP-40, Oct. 1992,pp.1245-1249.
