  • Abstract
    This paper presents methods that can be used to determine the temperature dependence of microstrip antennas (MSA). The input reflection of the MSA array and the Radar Cross Section (RCS) was measured without special equipment in laboratory conditions. These experiments showed the change in resonant frequency (Fr) and antenna gain (G) versus temperature. Using the measured data, the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant of the substratum can be calculated by computer modeling.
