Abstract
A microstrip patch oscillator is modelled using a dual LCR Van der Pol oscillator. Closed form expressions are obtained for the fundamental and first harmonic voltage amplitudes and results show reasonably good agreement with a commercial circuit simulator. These type of expressions will be useful for computer aided design of active antennas and give circuit designers greater physical insight into their operation
