Development of Compact Design Formulae for Aperture-Coupled MPA for Satellite Communication Applications
摘要
Closed-form equations are presented for designing aperture-coupled microstrip antennas to ensure impedance matching with the feed network with a low return loss over a wide frequency band. The features like compactness, integrability with printed circuits, shielding of the radiating patch from the radiation emanating from the feed structure, etc. make these antennas as array attractive for present-day satellite communication in fields like high-speed video streaming, mobile computing, and communications.
