Abstract :
The paper presents an study of the influence of finite ground plane size in stacked patch antennas. A new model to carry out this study is presented. The model is based on the two-slot model and consists of a four or six element array. The model can be used to extract surface wave coefficients that are very useful in stacked patch design.
