Abstract
Microstrip antennas consist of a planar resonant radiating element parallel to, but separated, from a ground plane by a thin dielectric substrate ( 
). These antennas are very thin and consequently rugged and easy to mount. They may be fed from the back through the ground plane or from the edge by depositing microstrip lines on the dielectric substrate. Several varieties of microstrip antennas are discussed in this paper. Design procedures are given for both linearly and circularly polarized antennas. Measured patterns are presented for antennas from UHF through 
band.
