Abstract :
This paper presents a procedure which can be used to model the input admittance of a probe-fed microstrip antenna using simple circuit components. The values of the components are extracted from experimental data and represent the antenna about any resonant mode. A good circuit description of the antenna can greatly facilitate system analysis
