Abstract :
A three dimensional multiport network model (MNM) is developed for analysis and design of electromagnetically-fed patch antenna configurations on two-layered dielectric substrates. Antenna characteristics such as input impedance and radiation pattern are computed using the MNM model and the results obtained by this approach are compared with experimental results.
