Abstract :
A theoretical method, namely transmission-line model analysis, is outlined to explain the radiation conductance, the bandwidth and the efficiency of a lossy rectangular microstrip patch. We are able to express the characteristics by simple formulas and we obtain good agreement between theoretical and experimental results.
