Abstract
This paper shows the advantage of modal methods utilization in the area of microstrip patch antennas design. Namely, the Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) is developed starting from the Electric Field Integral Equation and formulating proper functional equation for stored and radiated power. Developed in-house TCM analyzer is presented and employed to investigate properties of the linearly and circularly polarized rectangular patch antenna.
