Abstract :
An analysis and design for HTC superconducting planar antenna, particularly microstrip patch antenna, is presented in this work. The rigorous Transverse Transmission Line (TTL) method in the Fourier Transform Domain (FTD) along with the Transmission Line Model are applied. However, the analysis can be extended to others planar structures using materials with losses, as semiconductor, or lossless dielectric substrate. Since the TTL is a concise full wave method and very much suitable on microwave and millimeter-wave components study, it gives accurate effective dielectric constant which contributes definitively to obtain all others antenna parameters with higher precision such as length, efficiency, bandwidth, quality factor, radiation patterns
