Nasimuddin N. (ed.) Microstrip antennas

Intech, 2011. — 552 p.In this book some recent advances in the microstrip antennas are presented while highlighting the theoretical and practical design techniques for various wireless system applications. The microstrip antennas on various available substrate materials such as artificial material, uniaxial and ferrite are analyzed and designed for reconfi gurable, dual and tunable applications. The small microstrip antennas can be designed using artificial materials. Various shaped radiators are also studied for compact antenna size and circular polarization radiation. The circularly polarized microstrip antennas with different feeding system and various shaped slotted microstrip patch radiators is also studied and compared for compact size and broadband applications. The microstrip antennas are also considered as a sensor for detection of materials properties. Finally, the microstrip antennas for millimeter-wave applic ations are also c overed in this book. New emerging wireless systems that operate at millimeter wave frequencies, such as high data rate 60-GHz transceivers for wireless personal area networks (WPAN), use integrated antennas. Therefore, antennas for these systems are commonly implemented on inpackage solutions. The integration of antenna-in-package is also covered by using wire bonding or flip-chip bonding interconnections. Lastly, the 3D electromagnetic software tools for microstrip antennas designing is demonstrated for helping the microstrip antenna designers. The proposed microstrip antennas book is useful for students, researchers and microstrip antenna design engineers.Design of Low-Cost Probe-Fed Microstrip Antennas.
