Application of the FCEL method to a microstrip disk antenna with a parasitic director

The method of finite coupled elementary lines (FCEL) is used in the analysis of a microstrip disk antenna with a larger parasitic director. A closed form expression of the effective radius for the used structure is proposed. The obtained numerical results are compared with published measurements and...

Summary:The method of finite coupled elementary lines (FCEL) is used in the analysis of a microstrip disk antenna with a larger parasitic director. A closed form expression of the effective radius for the used structure is proposed. The obtained numerical results are compared with published measurements and good agreement is noticed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
