Inset-fed Ku-band circular patch antennas

Ku-band circular patch antennas fed with a 50 /spl Omega/ microstrip line have been designed and tested. A full-wave simulator is used to design the microstrip feed. Design equations are given that are accurate to 1.3% for predicting the resonant frequency from L-band to Ka-band.
