Multiport network model for CAD of electromagnetically coupled microstrip patch antennas

In this paper, electromagnetically coupled (EMC) patch-antenna configurations on two-layered dielectric substrates are investigated. The radiating patch is located on the top of the upper substrate and is excited by feed circuitry underneath it on the lower substrate. The electromagnetic field problem is transformed into a network problem and a multiport network model (MNM) is developed to characterize the three-dimensional (3-D) fields associated with the radiating structure. Antenna characteristics such as input impedance and radiation pattern are computed using the MNM model and the approach is validated by comparison with experimental results.
