: Extends simple models to analyze mutual coupling in arrays and complex patch geometries. Key Design Challenges & Solutions Microstrip Antenna Design Handbook
: Covers classic approaches such as Transmission Line Theory , which treats the patch as a section of a microstrip line, and the Cavity Model , which views the region between the patch and ground plane as a resonant cavity. Handbook of microstrip antennas
: Includes advanced techniques like the Method of Moments (MoM) for more precise electromagnetic modeling, essential for modern Computer-Aided Design (CAD). : Extends simple models to analyze mutual coupling
The handbook meticulously details the theoretical models used to predict antenna performance: It provides a comprehensive technical foundation for "patch
The , edited by J.R. James and P.S. Hall (1989), is a seminal two-volume reference in microwave engineering. It provides a comprehensive technical foundation for "patch antennas," which are low-profile, lightweight radiating elements typically fabricated using standard printed circuit board (PCB) technology.
