Title :
Evaluation of microstrip antenna analysis using numerical tools
Author :
Pansegrouw, David F. ; Palmer, Keith D.
Abstract :
A comparative study is presented of a number of commercial CAD package analyses of 4 microstrip patch antennas. Predicted results are compared to measurements, and comparisons of computer run-time are presented. Three techniques to measure the dielectric constant of substrates are also presented
