  • Abstract
    The uniform transmission-line model is applied to determine the resonant frequency of a coaxial probe fed rectangular patch antenna tuned by a number of passive metallic posts suitably placed within the antenna´s boundary. An approximate expression is given for the resonant frequency as a function of the post location and number, and of the other characteristic parameters of the antenna. Theoretical results are compared with available measured values.
