Best Answer

The source of radiation for rectangular microstrip radiator is the electric field that is excited between the edges of microstrip element and the ground plane.The fields are excited 180 degree out of phase between opposite edges.Each edge therefore radiates an omnidirectional pattern into half space above the ground plane.The opposing edges are excited out of phase but their radiation adds in phase normal to the element.

For more details see Antenna Engineering handbook by Johnson and Jasik.

What does an antenna do?

Radiates and/or receives radio signals.


How do you test a microstrip antenna?

A micro-strip antenna works on the principle of resonant cavity (short circuit walls on top and bottom, open circuit walls on the sides).A resonant cavity stores energy unlike transmission lines or wave guide which transmits electromagnetic energy from one part to another. A R.C is equivalent to LC device at low frequencies.

Why we use patch antenna in communication?

because patch antenna are used in order to achieve higher gain small dimensions, light weight, slim size and easy manufacturing as compared with parabolic dish or other antenna's


What is true about a wireless access point that is equipped with an omnidirectional antenna?

Radiates the signal equally in all directions.


Where is Microstrip antenna used?

Micro strip antenna has following advantages : 1) Low profile : conformal (most important) 2) Easy to fabricate 3) Can be used in array 4) Easy to feed the most important use of micro strip is its conformity as it can be conformed to the air crafts, missiles, satellite. A stealth aircraft has about 50-70 micro-strip antennas. the most popular of conformal microstrip antennas are Cylindrical, conical as the are mounted on various parts of aircrafts, missiles etc. they have many use on armament department.


How loop antenna and dipole antenna can be used interchangeably?

A full-wave loop antenna can be interchanged with a folded dipole without much difference. The input impedance is similar and the only difference is in the directivity: a full wave loop radiates along the axis of the loop, while a vertical folded dipole is omnidirectional.


What is radiation pattern of isotropic antenna?

By definition, an isotropic radiator radiates equally well in all directions. A simple vertical whip would have such a pattern in the horizontal field.


How do you practically realize the design of a double-stub impedance match using microstrip?

microstrip line is unbalanced line so it works in same way as other unbalanced line. so in double stub, the microstrip line forms the reactance wanted to match. Hey what happened to methods involving the schmidt chart?


How antenna radiate em waves?

The underlying electromagnetic radiation mechanism is illustrated by evaluating the scattered radiated field and its effects on the aperture efficiency by considering the theoretical limits of a radiating conical horn with infinite length
