THE STUDY OF SLIT CUT ON THE MICROSTRIP ANTENNA AND ITS APPLICATIONS

The slit cut on a microstrip antenna is studied in this paper, and a multiport series inductance network is established for analysis. Based on this study, two slit applications are proposed: to adjust the resonant frequency, and to make a small microstrip antenna. Experiments agree well with the theoretical analysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 18: 297–300, 1998.
