Description
Summary:This paper presents an analysis of conductor-backed aperture antennas with multilayered substrate. These printed antennas are fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW). The theoretical approach taken is to develop an integral equation over the aperture region and apply Galerkin's procedure in the spectral domain. The properties of printed antennas with a CPW feed are characterized. Numerical results include the scattering parameters, antenna pattern, and radiation efficiency. The reflection coefficient, input impedance, and far-field pattern are also compared with measurements and good agreement is observed.< >
