Electromagnetic Radiation from Arbitrarily Shaped Microstrip Antenna Using the Equivalent Dipole-Moment Method

The equivalent dipole-moment method (EDM) is extended and applied in the analysis of electromagnetic (EM) radiation by arbitrarily shaped microstrip antenna in this paper. The method of moments (MoM) is used to solve the volume-surface integral equation (VSIE). A strip model is applied in the treatm...

description The equivalent dipole-moment method (EDM) is extended and applied in the analysis of electromagnetic (EM) radiation by arbitrarily shaped microstrip antenna in this paper. The method of moments (MoM) is used to solve the volume-surface integral equation (VSIE). A strip model is applied in the treatment of the feeding probe of the microstrip antenna, in which the discretized triangular elements of the excitation source are equivalent as dipole models. The proposed approach is sufficiently versatile in handling arbitrarily shaped microstrip antenna and is easily constructed through a simple procedure. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of this method.
